  • Meteorite Definition: Understanding Space Debris Impacts
    The answer you're looking for is meteorite. Here's why:

    * Meteoroid: A small piece of celestial debris in space.

    * Meteor: A meteoroid that enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up, creating a streak of light.

    * Meteorite: A meteoroid that survives its journey through the atmosphere and impacts the Earth's surface.

    So, a meteorite is the only option that specifically describes debris that has hit the planet.
