comets can do this (depending on there make up) however this is rare as a comet is actually a satelite, it is stuck in a orbit. an asteroid burning up in the atmosphere is more likely, thiese rocks are not in orbit.

No. If a comet were to strike the Earth, the results would probably be catastrophic.
Both meteoroid's and comets are made out of rock and burn up when getting into earths atmosphere.
Any meteor or comet will burn up in Jupiter's incredibly thick atmosphere.
Hopefully, they burn up on entering our atmosphere, due to friction with the air.
Usually, a comet.Meteors are usually the dust trails of comets or bigger meteorites/asteroids that burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. They are about the size of grains of sand.
Yes. Comets do not enter the atmosphere of the earth (we hope!). What you see is gasses that are released from the comet, illuminated by the sun. However, a meteor (shooting star) is visible only due to the atmosphere heating the meteor.
Meteoroids generally do not pose much of a risk as they are generally small enough to burn up in the atmosphere, and do not reach the surface. Asteroids and comets are larger and can cause potentially catastrophic damage if they strike Earth.
nothing would happen because comets hit Jupiter when it is hot and it does not burn up it. if Jupiter was a a bit bigger it would start to glow.
Pieces of comets that stream through the air are called meteoroids. When they enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, they create bright streaks of light known as meteors or shooting stars.
Icy objects that light up the night sky include comets and meteors. Comets are made of ice, dust, and rocks, and produce a glowing tail of gas and dust when they approach the sun. Meteors are pieces of rock or metal that enter Earth's atmosphere, creating a bright streak of light as they burn up due to friction.
They burn up because of friction in the atmosphere
