"If the object stays in space it is an asteroid or comet. If it hits the atmosphere it is a meteor. If it hits the ground it is a meteorite."

BTW, did you know the Earth actually has a second moon?

It is called Cruithne (pronounced crew-EEN-ya). It is about 3 miles across.

It also has a highly irregular orbit around the Earth defined mathimatically as a Lagrange orbit. It takes 770 years to complete the horseshoe shaped orbit around Earth.
