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.
meteor
A meteor. Its also referred to as a shooting star.
AnswerAn asteroid or meteoroid entering the earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. If parts of it manage to reach the ground without burning up, they are referred to as meteorites.a meteorite is when the asteroid actually hits the earth
"Meteor" is in fact the proper term for a small inanimate object that enters Earth's atmosphere from space and then, perhaps after flaring up brightly enough to be seen from the Earth's surface, dissolves completely. By contrast, a "comet" is a large inanimate object that does not enter the Earth's atmosphere but, instead, remains in space, though sometimes brightly enough to be visible from Earth.
It is called a meteor,A meter is a meteriod that completley burns when it enters earths atmosphere
An asteroid burning up in the Earth's atmosphere is called a Meteor.
If it falls to the Earth, it is called a meteorite. If it burns up, it is called meteor.

A asteroid ... You my son knows that n you don't ?
Burning fossil fuels will Produce CarbonDioxide (CO2) or GreenHouse Gases and the CO2 gets into earths atmosphere and warms up the planet, this is called global warming, this has effect on the weather
atmosphere
Meteorites. When floating in space they are called meteoroids, they are then called meteors when they enter the earths atmosphere at high speeds, burning up brightly as shooting stars for a brief period due to the friction against the gas in the atmosphere. If any surviving pieces are found on the surface, they are called meteorites.

The bright streak of light is the meteoroid burning up in the atmosphere due to friction from its extreme velocity. If the meteoroid completely burns up, it is called a meteor; if part of it makes it to the ground, it is called a meteorite.
Yes. Asteroids can enter earth's atmosphere. In such an event the asteroid will probably strike earth's surface.
Meteors do not orbit the Sun. Meteors are to be found/seen in the Earth's atmosphere burning up. Before they enter the Earths atmosphere they are called meteoroids and if they land on Earth they are called meteorites.
Usually they will burn up due to the friction they encounter when they enter the atmosphere, or they will bounce off the atmosphere and be deflected into deep space.
The particles outside the Earths atmosphere are called, meteoroids.
Burning fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere. This can raise global temperatures.

Sometimes it is called a "shooting star" but the stream of light is just the meteoroid burning up and parts of it break off.
The third layer of Earth's atmosphere is called the Mesosphere.
