About Asteroids, meteors and meteorites


Asteroids orbit the Sun. They are small bodies.


Planetoids or minor planets are also called large Asteroids.


Once these Asteroids enter our planet's atmosphere, they become Meteors.


If any any of these Meteors impact the Earth, they become Meteorites.
