It's called a 'meteor', 'shooting star', 'falling star', etc.
The visible path of a meteoroid entering the Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor or "shooting star." As the meteoroid travels at high speed, it encounters atmospheric resistance, causing it to heat up and emit light, which creates a bright streak in the sky. This phenomenon typically occurs at altitudes between 75 and 100 kilometers (about 46 to 62 miles) above the Earth's surface. The visible path lasts only a few seconds before the meteoroid either burns up completely or, if large enough, reaches the ground as a meteorite.
An image that results from an apparent path of light rays is called a virtual image. Virtual images cannot be projected onto a screen and are formed behind the mirror or lens that the light rays appear to be coming from.
A meteoroid is a debris particle in the Solar System that can range in size from the size of a grain of sand to that of a large boulder. A meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere via a visible path referred to as a meteor, and if the meteoroid reaches ground level and survives the impact, it is termed a meteorite.

The glowing trail produced by a meteoroid as it burns up in Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor or shooting star. This phenomenon occurs due to the intense heat generated as the meteoroid compresses the air in front of it, causing the air to glow brightly along its path.
scientist's believe that a huge meteoroid destroyed everything in its path killing thedinosaurs
light travels in straight paths called rays
The eyeglass has a refracting effect that bends the path of light into your eye at the right angle.
Yes but it's not coming out until sometime in 2014 or 2015
A ray emitted from a light source is called a light ray. It represents the path that light travels in a straight line from the source in a specific direction.
