* Asteroids: These are rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, mainly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
* Comets: These are icy bodies that also orbit the Sun, leaving trails of dust and debris as they travel.
* Mars: While rarer, some meteoroids can originate from the red planet.
* The Moon: Though less common, small fragments of the Moon can be ejected by impacts and eventually become meteors.
It's important to note that a meteor is the streak of light we see when a small piece of debris (called a meteoroid) enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up. The object that the meteoroid came from is called the parent body.
