Why do meteors turn to a ball of fire when hitting the axis?

Can fire really burn off asteroids or meteors?
Friction with the Earth's atmosphere really does destroy the smaller meteors that fall toward the earth. That friction makes the object so hot that it looks like a fire, but it is really just friction - not a fire. Asteroids and meteors do not burn with fire. They are traveling at speeds from 17,000 mph to 50,000 mph relative to earth so that when they enter earth's atmosphere friction with the air heats them white hot which melts their surfaces, thermal stresses can cause them to explode in the air, and the smaller ones vaporize. Some can make it to the surface of the earth still red hot and if they land on flammable material can ignite fires. Some are large enough that they collide with the earth's surface with enough remaining velocity that they explode underground creating impact craters.
Why the UV rays are not produced from the fire?
Because fire in itself is not a ball of nuclear fusion reactions which is what the stars in every solar system are, which produces UV radiation, a fire is just heat and not a nuclear reaction.

Why do meteoroids become fireballs as they approach the earth?
As a meteors enters the earth's atmosphere, the frictional heat is so intense it begins to catch fire, which is why must meteors burn-up before they hit our planet. Meteors are called meteors until they hit the earth's surface, then they are called meteorites!!
