Meteor
Explanation:
A meteor is an asteroid or other object that burns and vaporizes upon entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Meteors are commonly referred to as "shooting stars." If a meteor survives the plunge through the atmosphere and lands on the surface, it's known as a meteorite. Meteorites are usually categorized as iron or stony. Meteor are also known as falling stars and the passage of the meteor is visible due to the glowing light as it burns.
