* Meteors are small. They are typically the size of a pebble or a grain of sand.
* They don't have a stable orbit. Due to their small size and low mass, they are easily influenced by the gravitational pull of planets and the Sun. They tend to have erratic, unpredictable paths.
* Meteors come from the asteroid belt or comets. These objects do orbit the Sun, but when they break apart, the resulting fragments (the meteors) don't always maintain a stable orbit.
So, while meteors originate from objects that orbit the Sun, they themselves don't usually have a defined, long-term orbit.
