You were saying ...
A meteoroid is a piece of debris in space.
A meteor is the path it takes as it travels through the atmosphere.
A meteorite is a meteor that survives the trip and hits the ground.
You are absolutley correct... :-)

Actually, there's a small error in my explanation - let's try again:
A meteoroid is a piece of debris in space.
A meteor is the path it takes as it travels through the atmosphere.
A meteorite is a meteoroid that survives the trip and hits the ground.

A meteorite is a meteor that survives the trip and hits the ground.If a "meteor" is the "path" it had taken then how can the above statement be accurate?
I ask in earnest, I realize that you know far more than I regarding anything astronomically related.
