What is a meteor that doesn't burn out and orbits the sun?

A meteor that doesn't burn out and orbits the sun is known as a "meteoroid." Unlike meteors, which are the streaks of light produced when a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up, a meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body in space that can range in size from a grain of dust to a few meters across. If it remains in orbit around the sun, it can be classified as a small asteroid, particularly if it is larger than a typical meteoroid.
