Meteor – a meteoroid that enters the Earth’s atmosphere.
Meteorite – a meteor that reaches the Earth’s surface.
Impact craters on Earth thatresult from the impact of ameteor.
A piece of rock smaller than a planet that orbits the sun, most are between Mars and Jupiter.
A mass of frozen gases androck particles that orbits thesun, often developing a brighttail when it passes near thesun.
