A meteoroid has a rocky, uneven ball-like shape, but is not perfectly round. It is more like seeing a boulder on Earth-- uneven, unwieldy, misshapen, jagged, etc. However, a meteoroid breaks up as it enters Earth's atmosphere and burns. It fragments. So only some small fragments survive the intense heat.
