Answer:

Meteoroids – a small body moving in the solar system that would become a meteor if it entered the earth's atmosphere.

Meteors – a small body of matter from outer space that enters the earth's atmosphere, becoming incandescent as a result of friction and appearing as a streak of light

Meteorites – a meteor that survives its passage through the earth's atmosphere such that part of it strikes the ground. More than 90 percent of meteorites are of rock, while the remainder consist wholly or partly of iron and nickel.
