Meteors do orbit the Sun, until they come so close to the Earth that the orbit is interrupted by the Earth's gravity.
Large lumps of rock that orbit the sun could refer to planets, asteroids, meteors.
They move around the Sun in ellipses - just like the planets.
Meteors, asteroids, and comets are all objects in space. Meteors are shooting stars that enter Earth's atmosphere, asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun mostly in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and comets are icy objects that orbit the Sun in more elongated paths. While they all originate from space, their composition and behavior can vary significantly.

They are formed from space debris and sometimes can be seen shooting across the sky in a solo performance, but there are also meteor showers that can occasionally be witnessed. Whether or not meteors break apart depends on what they are made of, the speed, it's traveling at and the angle of its entry. The faster they are, the more stress. Meteors made of iron withstand stress better than those of stone.
Meteors travels through earth. While the meteors travel towards the earth they go around the orbit.
beacuase there just are
Meteors do not orbit the Sun. Meteors are to be found/seen in the Earth's atmosphere burning up. Before they enter the Earths atmosphere they are called meteoroids and if they land on Earth they are called meteorites.
Meteors are in orbit round the Sun and they follow Kepler's 3 laws of planetary motion, which apply to anything that orbits the Sun, of any size and mass.
no only comets.
Meteors typically have elliptical orbits, similar to comets. Their shape of orbit can vary depending on their origin and the gravitational forces they encounter in the solar system. Some meteors follow stable orbits, while others may have more inclined or eccentric paths.
An object only becomes a meteor when it leaves orbit and enters earth's atmosphere.
They will hit Earth if, in their orbit around the Sun, they happen to cross Earth's orbit.
Meteors do not orbit the Sun. Meteors are small particles that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up as they frictionally interact with the air. They come from the debris left behind by comets or asteroids orbiting the Sun.
yes b
The orbit of a meteor depends on the size of the meteor. Different meteors have different orbits and it is hard to calculate its size.
Most meteors are sand grain sized objects that had been ejected from comets as they followed around their highly elliptical orbits. As most of these comets have orbits that extend beyond the orbit of Jupiter at their aphelion, then yes most of these sand grains that become meteors when they enter earth's atmosphere have been beyond the orbit of Jupiter. However they are not actually meteors until they enter earth's atmosphere, so while they are actually meteors they are nowhere near Jupiter. Many larger meteors were pieces of asteroids. The vast majority of asteroids orbit between Mars and Jupiter and thus have never been even near Jupiter, and definitely not beyond Jupiter's orbit.
