A meteorite is a chunk of rock or iron usually from a meteoroid or asteroid which pass through Earth's atmosphere and survives impact with the ground. Most meteorites originate from larger asteroid bodies residing in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that originates in outer space and survives its passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface of a planet or moon. When the object enters the atmosphere, various factors like friction, pressure, and chemical interactions with the atmospheric gases cause it to heat up and radiate that energy. It then becomes a meteor and forms a fireball, also known as a shooting star or falling star; astronomers call the brightest examples "bolides." Meteorites vary greatly in size. For geologists, a bolide is a meteorite large enough to create a crater.
