    A small rock in space is called a meteoroid. When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere, friction with the air heats them up and turns them into meteors or "shooting stars". Most meteors burn up in the atmosphere, but some larger ones survive and become meteorites when they reach the ground. Large meteorites sometimes originate from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
