Every thing with mass has gravity so, yes.

Yes, meteors have gravity. All objects have gravity. Small objects have such a small amount of gravity that you don't notice.
For example, you have gravity. You can calculate how fast objects will accelerate towards you due to your gravity.
Fg = (G M1)/r^2 * m2
The universal gravitational constant is 6.67 x 10^(-11)
M1 is your mass.
r is the distance between you and the object attracted to you.
For example, if you're 60 kg and the person at the next desk over is 1 meter away, his acceleration towards you due to gravity is:
(6.67 x 10^-11 m^3 sec^2/kg)(60 kg)/(1 m)^2 = 4 x 10^-9 meters/sec^2
If you were both in a vacuum and there were no other forces acting on the two of you, that's a high enough rate of acceleration that the person at the next desk would reach you in less than 8 years!
Okay, no wonder you normally don't notice how your own personal gravity affects other people.

Seems everyone is jumping on the "mass has gravity" thought. That concept is not true. A mass does not automatically have a gravitational field. The equation for a gravitational field is c2 = E/m. The c2 value is a relationship between mass and energy (heat energy in the case of gravity). Because the force of gravity performs work, it must have an energy source. It is impossible to perform work apart from an energy source to initiate an action. Were our planet to have no heat energy within it, then our planet would have no gravitational field.
http://360.yahoo.com/noddarc there is a short writing "The Problem and Repair of Relativity" at the end of which is "An Experiment You Can Help With" that describes the formation and collapse of a gravitational field.

yes meteors have gravity.actually every body has its own gravity.more the mass of the body more its gravity

Every body that has mass will have gravity and hence yes, meteors do have gravity.

I believe everything with mass has gravity. Thus, even the particles of an atom revolve around the gravitational force of the center of the atom. The smaller the body, the less the force of its pull, however.

Yes, even very small ones, though for those it's a very weak field.
You may know that even some of the most modest-sized of asteroids have moons, and that which keeps them in orbit is gravity.
Kewl, aint' it?

Yes, of course, because they have mass ... and every mass has gravity.

Yes but its relatively low compared to that of the earth or other larger objects, like stars, black holes, and large planets.

yes, but not very much... all objects have mass, so all objects have gravity
