A comet is an icy small solar system body that, when passing close to the Sun, heats up and begins to outgas, displaying a visible atmosphere or coma, and sometimes also a tail.

A meteorite is a solid piece of debris, that originates in outer space and survives its impact with the Earth's surface.
