Achunk of iron weighing a few kilograms flies into the inner solar system, is captured by earth's gravity, enters the atmosphere burning brightly, and lands on solid ground. three different names apply to the different stages of its journey. place them in order from first to last.

When it entered the atmosphere burning brightly it is called Meteor.

The solid part that lands on the ground is called Meteorite.
