When an object from space, such as a comet or asteroid, crosses paths with Earth and enters its atmosphere, it is referred to as a "meteoroid." Once it enters the atmosphere and produces a visible streak of light due to friction, it is called a "meteor." If it survives the passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then classified as a "meteorite."

What is an asteroid called when it is burning up in the earth's atmosphere?
A metiorite. I believe what you're talking about is a meteoroid, not an asteroid. An asteroid is rather large, revolves around the sun, and when one hits the Earth, and a few have, it is disastrous. A meteoroid, on the other hand, is much smaller and when it hits the Earth's atmosphere and burns up (due to the friction of the atmosphere) it is called a meteor. After it reaches the Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite. http://dictionary.infoplease.com/meteor merci, have a good day.
