Answer:

  Meteor: A streak of light made when an object burns up as it enters Earth's atmosphere

Explanation:

A meteorite is an object that has come from space and hit Earth.

A comet is a space object that develops a tail as it nears the sun. It is believed to be a mixture of dust and ice. In general, a comet will appear stationary in the night sky, since it moves rather slowly relative the starry background.

A meteor is a space object that makes a streak of light across the sky as it burns up in the atmosphere. (It may or may not become a meteorite, depending on the degree to which it burns up.)
