1. Meteoroids: These are small rocky or metallic fragments that travel through space and enter the Earth's atmosphere. They are typically the size of a pebble or smaller.

2. Asteroids: These are larger rocky fragments that orbit the Sun and occasionally cross paths with Earth's orbit. When they enter the Earth's atmosphere, they are called meteors.

3. Cometary debris: Comets are made up of ice, dust, and rocky fragments. When a comet gets close to the Sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, releasing debris into space. Some of this debris can enter the Earth's atmosphere as meteors.

4. Space debris: This includes fragments of satellites, rockets, and other human-made objects that have been left in space. When these objects re-enter the Earth's atmosphere, they can burn up and become meteors.

5. Tektites: These are glassy fragments that are formed when a large meteorite impacts the Earth's surface. The intense heat and pressure from the impact melt the surrounding rocks, creating tektites that are ejected into the atmosphere.

6. Lunar meteorites: These are fragments of the Moon's surface that are ejected during meteorite impacts on the Moon. Some of these fragments can escape the Moon's gravity and enter the Earth's atmosphere as meteors.

7. Martian meteorites: Similar to lunar meteorites, these are fragments of Mars that are ejected during meteorite impacts on the Martian surface. Some of these fragments can make their way to Earth as meteors.

It's important to note that while these rocky fragments can endure passage through the Earth's atmosphere, most of them burn up due to the intense heat generated by friction with the air. Only a small fraction of the original fragments survive and reach the Earth's surface as meteorites.
