Lithometeors are meteors that are observed in the atmosphere on the earth's surface or in the sky in the field of meteorology.[1] The name is derived from “litho”, ancient Greek λίθος[líthos] for “stone” (note: including in the sense of sand and dust), and “meteor”, from ancient Greek μετέωρος[metéōros], “floating in the air”. Unlike electrometeors, hydrometeors and photometeors, they are associated with suspended particles that are not made of water.[2] Solid and liquid components of the atmosphere in whose composition water plays no or at least almost no role are also referred to as aerosols.[3]
