Ever wonder what the difference is between a meteor, meteoroid and a meteorite?

A meteoroid is the space debris/particle, perhaps from an asteroid or comet

A meteor is the flash of light we see as it comes through the earth's atmosphere (shooting star) and the meteorite is what survives!

Most meteoroids are so small they can't make it through the atmosphere and are completely vaporized.
