Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Meteoroids are objects in space that range in size from dust grains to small asteroids. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Complete answer: Many meteorites are formed from a collision of asteroids that rotate around the sun between the tracks of Mars and Jupiter in the region called the asteroid belt. As asteroids break into each other, they produce loose debris-meteoroids.
