In space, a large rocky body in orbit about the Sun is referred to as an asteroid or minor planet whereas much smaller particles in orbit about the Sun are referred to as meteoroids. Once a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and vaporizes, it becomes a meteor (i.e., shooting star).

Asteroids are a wide range of rocks that are present in the universe as a result of some collision of planets. When these asteroids come into the range of the earth's atmosphere they burn which appears as a shooting star. Now these are termed as Meteors
