Asteroids/Comets/Meteoroids/Meteors
Asteroids had circular orbits, sized between 1m to 500km, were made of rock and metal and lived in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Comets had inclined elliptical orbits, were made of dust, rock and ice, when the sun is formed for and came from further away
Meteoroids are broken parts of asteroids or comets
Meteors are meteoroids that enters the Earth's atmosphere
Meteorites are meteors that are not vaporized and landed on the Earth's surface
