Not sure about "full on earth" but meteoroids which fall to earth are called meteorites.

That's a description of meteoroids.
The craters on the surface of the Earth's moon were produced by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids. These impact events occurred over billions of years as the moon lacks an atmosphere to protect it from incoming objects.
Yes. Meteoroids are traveling AT LEAST 25,000 MPH, and sometimes far faster; some have been tracked at 125K MPH. They run into the atmosphere and at that speed, the air CANNOT get out of the way. The super-thin air is compressed to the density of water or thicker, which heats the meteoroid to incandescence, which means "glowing hot". Depending on the structure and composition of the meteoroid, sometimes they melt, sometimes they vaporize, and sometimes they explode. Sometimes, fragments of the meteoroid survives to hit the Earth's surface, when we call them "meteorites".

Ozone
Lower temperature and the counter-effect of condensation.
Meteoroids don't enter the earths atmosphere, Meteors do. Meteoroids are the rocks that you find on the ground after a meteor penetrated the atmosphere and made it to the ground.
Yes, the mesosphere helps protect Earth's surface from most meteoroids by burning them up upon entry, due to the high temperatures generated by their rapid descent through the atmosphere. This process results in the meteoroids disintegrating before reaching the surface, reducing the likelihood of impacts.
Location is the difference.Meteoroid is in spaceMeteor has entered the earths atmosphere and can possibly be seen by it's fire/smoke trailMeteorite- has reached the surface of the earth intact.
Meteoroids are small chunks of rocks and debris in space that travel through Earth's atmosphere and hit its surface.
