What is the glowing trail left when a meteorite burns up in the atmosphere?

The glowing trail left by a meteorite burning up in the atmosphere is called a meteor or "shooting star." This phenomenon occurs when the meteorite, traveling at high speeds, encounters friction with atmospheric gases, causing it to heat up and emit light. The intense heat vaporizes the meteorite and produces a bright streak across the sky. The trail can vary in brightness and color, depending on the composition of the meteorite and the speed of its entry.
