Meteor – A meteoroid that is observed as it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere – a shooting star. 

Meteorite – A meteoroid that survives its passage through the Earth's atmosphere and impacts the Earth's surface.

From these to defination u can easily understand why meterorites are less in quantity.

Meteors are the celestial bodies in space made up of dust or gasses and are present outside earth atmosphere.
Meteorites are the meteors which enter the earth atmosphere. The may survive or just burn up with the frictional heat or drag exerted on that object due to the Earth Gravity.
Since a few meteors enter earth's atmosphere so there are very few meteorites.
Hope it Helps :-)
