Meteorites, they are the ones that actually make it to the earth! Meteoroids are out in space. Meteors are in the atmosphere. And meteorites actually make it through the atmosphere and hit the earth's surface, where those living on earth are.

First of all I am not sure what is "meteoroids". There are asteroids. Asteroids are just really big meteors headed for Earth. Meteorites are asteroids that already went through our atmosphere and impacted the ground.

Tricky question, eh?
Meteors are just the flashes you see in the sky
Meteorites are what you find on the ground.
Meteoroids are the ones zooming around in space, so they are the ones you have to watch.
