One last (?) comment regarding "bolide";
Yes it comes from the Latin, and is really a French word, used in France in

And it really should be pronounced just like "solid".

Hello Stuart:
We have had this "conversation" before.
Your second question(when does an asteroid become a meteoroid): There is
no real minimum asteroid size or maximum meteoroid size. When it comes up
as a question, I usually say 5 or 10 meters is the crossover. Also, if an
asteroid gets hit by s

Where does the term Bolide figure in as compared to a fireball?
I haven't found a good description of the difference.

Hello Everyone,
The term "meteor" refers to the light phenomenon as an object from space
enters the Earth's atmosphere. What is the proper term for the object
itself?
A meteoroid is an object in space. Is it still called a meteoroid when it
enters the Earth's atmosphere?
