A meteor is the visible passage of a meteoroid, comet, or asteroid entering Earth’s atmosphere.

So the visible phenomenon. You can’t get hit by that.

A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that originates in outer space and survives its passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface of a planet or moon.

It’s the thing from outer space as soon as it hits the ground. So to be fair that guy in the comic wasn’t hit by one. You are right. :)

So… He was hit by a meteoroid and didn’t mind?
