Trivia: What are space rocks that land on Earth called?
Meteorites
Meteors
Asteroid
Comet
The correct answer is Meteorites
So why is this answer correct? : A meteoroid is a relatively small space rock traveling through space. If that meteoroid enters Earth’s atmosphere and burns up, it then becomes a meteor. If the space rock enters Earth’s atmosphere and lands on the surface, it becomes a meteorite. An asteroid is a rocky object that orbits the sun and is usually sized between a meteoroid and a planet, and a comet is an object made of mostly ice and dust that sometimes orbits the sun.
