That's the glow created by the air friction burning up the meteorite.

The flash of light produced when a meteoroid passes through Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor or shooting star. This phenomenon occurs due to the friction between the meteoroid and the air, causing it to heat up rapidly and produce a visible trail of light as it burns up.
The light produced by a meteoroid passing through the Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor or shooting star. This phenomenon occurs due to the intense heat generated by the friction between the meteoroid and air molecules as it rapidly descends. The light is produced when the meteoroid vaporizes and ionizes the surrounding air, creating a glowing trail in its wake.
The streak of light created by a meteoroid entering the Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. A meteorite is the remains of a meteoroid that did not vaporize after entering the Earth's atmosphere.
A meteoroid that enters Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. When it burns up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere, it creates a streak of light in the sky known as a meteor or shooting star. If a meteor survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then referred to as a meteorite.
almost none the vast majority of visible light passes through the atmosphere.
A `shooting star`, `falling star` or more technically, a meteor. They are called meteoroids in space, meteors when then are burning up in the atmosphere and meteorites if any remnants are found on the planets surface.
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.
A space rock that is entering Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. As it travels through the atmosphere and begins to heat up and produce bright light, it is then referred to as a meteor or shooting star.
the neutrino, which is a byproduct of nuclear fusion an fission, makes up part of solar wind. however, because it is neutral, it goes through the earth's magnetosphere and sometimes even through the earth itself.
Roughly 20% of visible light radiation is absorbed as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. The remaining percentage is either reflected back into space or reaches the Earth's surface. This absorption is influenced by factors such as cloud cover, aerosols, and gases in the atmosphere.
A meteoroid is a small metallic or rocky body. If it passes through the atmosphere causing it to burn up is called a meteor or shooting star. Any remnants that reach the earth are called meteorites.
