Asteroids smaller than a couple of meters wide are often referred to as "meteoroids." These are small rock or metal fragments in space, typically derived from larger asteroids or comets. When they enter Earth's atmosphere and produce a visible streak of light, they are called meteors, and if they survive the journey and land on the Earth's surface, they are known as meteorites.
