Answer: Piece of metal of rock and other material that present in the solar system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Meteoroid is defined as small body present and moving in a solar system, if it is enters in the earth atmosphere then it is termed as meteors. When it enters in earth atmosphere it vaporizes and during this process flash of light appears in the sky which is known as shooting star.

If the meteor survives in an Earth atmosphere and reaches the surface than it is called as meteorite.

Hence the correct option is:

Piece of metal of rock and other material that present in the solar system.
