Meteoroids are significantly smaller than asteroids , and range in size from small grains to one-meter-wide objects. [2] Objects smaller than this are classified as micrometeoroids or space dust . [2] [3] [4] Most are fragments from comets or asteroids, whereas others are collision impact debris ejected from bodies such as the Moon or Mars . [5] [6] [7] |

A meteoroid is a sand - to boulder -sized particle of debris in the Solar System . The visible path of a meteoroid that enters Earth's (or another body's) atmosphere is called a meteor , or colloquially a shooting star or falling star . If a meteoroid reaches the ground and survives impact, then it is called a meteorite . Many meteors appearing seconds or minutes apart, and appearing to originate from the same fixed point in the sky, are called a meteor shower . The root word meteor comes from the Greek meteōros , meaning "high in the air". |

A meteoroid is a small sand - to boulder -sized particle of debris in the Solar System . The visible path of a meteoroid that enters Earth's (or another body's) atmosphere is called a meteor, or commonly a "shooting star" or "falling star". If a meteoroid reaches the ground, it is then called a meteorite . Many meteors are part of a meteor shower . The root word meteor comes from the Greek meteōros , meaning high in the air . |

A meteoroid is a relatively small (sand- to boulder-sized) fragment of debris in the Solar System . When entering a planet 's atmosphere , the meteoroid is heated up by ram pressure and partially or completely vaporizes. The gas along the path of the meteoroid becomes ionized and glows. The trail of glowing vapor is called a meteor , or a shooting star . If any portion of the meteoroid survives to reach the ground, it is then referred to as a meteorite . |

A meteoroid is a relatively small (sand- to boulder-sized) fragment of debris in the Solar System . When entering the Earth 's atmosphere , the light phenomenon created by the ram pressure against the air (Despite the commonly held belief, friction is not at work here) and the resulting ionization of air particles is called a meteor , or shooting star . If any portion of the meteor survives to reach the ground, it is then referred to as a meteorite . |
