When meteors hurtle through the layer of air surrounding Earth, friction caused by the molecules of gas that make up our planet's atmosphere heats them up, and the meteor's surface begins warm up and glow. Eventually, the heat and high speed combine to vaporize the meteor usually high above Earth's surface.
