Asteroids are sometimes also called minor planets. They are rocky, airless remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago.

Wes Anderson's 'Asteroid City' and 'Henry Sugar' Will Feature Stop-Motion Animation Sequences ...
Anderson has already made two full stop-motion films: 2009's "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" and 2018's "Isle of Dogs." Stop-motion was also used for a specific sequence in "The Darjeeling Limited."

ASU, NASA project zooms in on the structure of meteorites
They can often be seen in the night sky as quick streaks of light. This flashy display signals their vaporization as they speed and heat up in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Meteors and meteorites are pieces of asteroids. If they burn up completely on entry into Earth's atmosphere, they're called meteors. If they fall to the ground, they’re known as meteorites.
