Aeroliths are also commonly referred to as meteorites, space rocks, or cosmic debris. These are rocky or metallic objects that originate from outer space and land on Earth's surface. Other synonyms for aeroliths include bolides, which are large, bright meteors that can explode in the atmosphere, and meteoroids, which are smaller pieces of space debris that burn up upon entering Earth's atmosphere. Some people also use the term shooting stars to describe the fiery streaks in the sky caused by aeroliths as they burn up during their descent. Regardless of the term used, these space objects are a fascinating and important part of our universe.
