Answer:
Like meteorites, meteors are objects that enter Earth's atmosphere from space. But meteors—which are typically pieces of comet dust no larger than a grain of rice—burn up before reaching the ground. ... The term “meteorite” refers only to those bodies that survive the trip through the atmosphere and reach Earth's surface.

A meteoroid is a small solid particle that travels through space, if they burn up in earth's atmosphere they are called meteor. A meteoroid that actually reaches Earth's surface is called a meteorite.
