Meteors = A meteor is an asteroid or other object that burns and vaporizes upon entry into the Earth's atmosphere; meteors are commonly known as "shooting stars.

Meteorite = Where If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.

Difference between Meteor and meteorite
1. Meteors are debris considered to be part of the Solar System, and they can either burn up, hit the ground or deflect off the Earth’s atmosphere; while meteorites are meteors which hit the surface of the Earth after their flight.

2. Meteors are burning rocks, while meteorites contain a combination of metal, magnetic elements and nickel.

3. Meteors are typically small in size, while meteorites are larger.
