The difference between a meteoroid, meteor and meteorite

IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM IN THE PREVIOUS DESIGN
- The blue & green arrows might look like the flow of motion, but they explain the different stages of the space object depending upon where it is.
It is unclear which atmosphere the meteoroid is entering, and burning up in, while on its journey to become a meteorite.

solution
I redesigned the visual explanation; putting in an image for each of the three stages (Meteoroid, Meteors and Meteorites).
Above each stage, I explained the space object in light of its positioning. Additionally, I slightly modified the text of the meteors’ explanations, adding the individual names of Earth’s atmospheric layers; e.g. the Mesosphere layer where the meteoroids become meteors.

new design
Finally, I added the altitude layers (approximations) in order to reflect reality. Furthermore, I included a meteorite image over planet Earth with a magnifying glass effect, supporting the idea that the space object had reached the planet’s surface.
