Question: How are a meteor meteoroid and meteorite related?
A meteoroid is a small rock or particle of debris in our Solar System. Meteoroids are fragments of comets, asteroids, or other celestial bodies. A meteor is the streak of light we see in the night sky when a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and vaporizes. A meteorite is a meteoroid that has survived its passage through the atmosphere and landed on the Earth's surface.
