Answer 1

A meteoroid is a small space rock moving through a solar system. ... If a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere, it's called a meteor, or shooting star. If part of that meteor survives the trip through the atmosphere and hits the Earth, it's a meteorite. A lot of meteoroids never end up being meteors or meteorites.

A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that originated in outer space and survived its passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface of a planet or moon. ... Once it settles on the larger body's surface, the meteor becomes a meteorite.

Answer 2

Meteoroids are objects in space that range in size from dust grains to small asteroids.

When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors.

When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it’s called a meteorite.
