[00:00:00]Most people [music] use the word meteor the wrong way.

[00:00:03]Here's the correct difference in the simplest way.

[00:00:06]In space, [music] it's called a meteoroid.

[00:00:09]When it enters Earth's atmosphere and burns in the sky, >> [music] >> that's a meteor.

[00:00:14]And if any piece actually survives and hits the ground, [music] that's a meteorite.

[00:00:18]So, the shooting light you see in the sky is not a meteorite. [music] It's just a meteor.
