Meteor (disambiguation)

A meteor or "shooting star" is the visible streak of light from a heated and glowing object falling through the Earth's atmosphere.

A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body travelling through outer space.
A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from such a body which survives its passage through the Earth's atmosphere, and falls to the Earth's surface.
