If a meteor passes through Earth's atmosphere without burning up, it is called a "meteorite" once it reaches the ground. This occurs when the object's size and composition allow it to withstand the intense heat and pressure generated during atmospheric entry. Meteorites can vary in size and type, providing valuable information about the solar system's history.

What is a streak of light in the sky produced by the burning of a meteoroid in earths atmosphere?
A streak of light in the sky produced by the burning of a meteoroid in Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. As the meteoroid enters the atmosphere at high speed, it experiences intense friction with air molecules, causing it to heat up and emit light. This phenomenon is often colloquially referred to as a "shooting star." If the meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.

What is a particle of rock that survives a fall through earths atmosphere?
A particle of rock that survives a fall through Earth's atmosphere is called a meteorite. It is a solid object that enters Earth's atmosphere from space and reaches the surface without completely burning up. Meteorites can provide valuable information about the history and composition of our solar system.
