A Meteor is a Comet or Asteroid that enters the Earth’s atmosphere

As the Comet or Asteroid burns up, a streak is left behind. This is sometimes known as a “shooting star”

What is a Meteorite?A Meteorite is a Comet or Asteroid that does not completely burn up when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere.

As a result the comet or asteroid lands on the Earth’s surface. This is known as a “meteorite”

What is more likely going to be only a meteor?Which has the best chance of becoming a meteorite?

Due to its composition, a comet is more likely to burn up in the atmosphere while an asteroid is more likely to make it to the Earth’s surface
