Asteroid vs Meteor. An asteroid is a relatively small, inactive, rocky body orbiting the Sun while a meteor is the light phenomena that takes place when a particle from a comet or asteroid (meteoroid) enters the Earthâs atmosphere and vaporizes. It is often also known as a shooting star.
What is the difference between a meteor, a meteoroid, a meteorite, an asteroid and a comet? Most of us probably have seen meteors or shooting stars. A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. Meteor refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself. The debris is called a meteoroid. A meteoroid is a piece of interplanetary matter that is smaller than a kilometer and frequently only millimeters in size. Most meteoroids that enter the Earth's atmosphere are so small that they vaporize completely and never reach the planet's surface.
