The above statement is True.
When a meteoroid enters the earth's atmosphere, it is referred to as a meteor.
When a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and starts to burn up, it is called a meteor or a shooting star. Most meteors burn up in the earth's atmosphere, but some make it to the surface and are known as meteorites. Meteoroids are made up of rocky substances that roam the galaxy. Meteorites help us to understand space. Some meteors are older than Earth, and they have many particles attached to them from various planets, stars, and other solar system members that contain important information about space.
