Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Micrometeoroids are small particles of dust found in space, often considered as interplanetary dust. These particles can be as small as a speck of dust and are not large enough to be classified as asteroids or meteors. When they enter Earth's atmosphere and vaporize, they are referred to as meteors, and if they reach the Earth's surface, they are called meteorites.
