A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes through the Earth's shadow.
Actually they do burn up when they pass through the earth's atmosphere.A meteoroid is a small rock or particle of debris in our solar system. A meteoroid that burns up as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere is known as a meteor.
Meteor is the term used to describe the streak of light (also called a shooting star) that passes through the atmosphere. The light is caused when a meteroid hits the atmosphere and burns up.
We call the fireball caused by friction and compressive heating a "meteor" as it passes through the atmosphere. The fragments that last long enough to strike the ground are called "meteorites".

When a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere, it is called a meteor. A meteor that passes through the atmosphere and strikes the ground is called a meteorite.
highlight factors which show that heat from the sun does reach th earth surface by convection
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.

A meteoroid in the atmosphere is a "meteor", and one that reaches the ground is a "meteorite".
