Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Think of them as “space rocks.” 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meteoroids are fragments and debris in space resulting from collisions among asteroids, comets, moons, and planets. They are among the smallest “space rocks.” We can see them when they streak through our atmosphere in the form of meteors and meteor showers.
