Quatr.us Physics Space. Meteor. Meteors or meteorites are bits of rock (like granite) and ice-usually a mixture of rock and iron and nickel but sometimes just rock or just iron-from out in space that get sucked into the gravity of the Earth and fall through our atmosphere to the ground. meteor is the same thing as a shooting star or a falling star-they're not really falling stars, but some people call them that.
