Yes and No, When they are flying down toward earth the are burning in the atmosphere thus making them appear to glow.
That's the blue sky we look up everyday. The blue sky is just a layer colored in blue. That's why when we go up higher into the atmosphere, we can see the "blue glow", that's the sky. :D

glow foods are fruits and veges. so corn is glow food
Buy a glow in a dark hair color die n die the dolls hair and it will glow
Glow Paint is much more poisonous that Regular Paint (Glow Paint Kills You if it enters your body)
Yes, in a way it does make meteors glow. Air resistance creates friction on the rock which heats it up. This heat is then emitted in the form of light, which is why you see meteors glow.
Small particles of rock or dust slam into a planet's atmosphere. Friction against the atmosphere creates immense heat which causes air hit by the meteoroid to glow. Soon after, the meteor disintegrates or lands.
Its called friction. When the rock enters the atmosphere it can be travelling at thousands of miles and hour. In space there is nothing to slow it down, when it comes to the Earths atmosphere there is resistance as the air tries to slow it down, this creates heat and the tempretures can reach thousands of degrees, rock melts at about 1200ºC.
Those are most likely meteors, which are space debris that enter Earth's atmosphere at high speeds. The friction from the atmosphere heats up the meteor, causing it to glow brightly and eventually burn up, creating a streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star.
That's a description of meteoroids.
Meteors generally burn up in the Mesosphere, but depending on the velocity and size of the meteor, they can burn up at almost any level of the atmosphere. We can see meteors because they emit light when they enter the atmosphere as the heated air around them glows from the heat. The reason they get hot and the meteor generally burns up is that when the extremely fast meteor hits the atmosphere, it compresses the air it hits and thus causes the temperature of the air to rise until the air glows from the heat. Also, the incredible friction as the meteor rubs against the atmosphere contributes to its glow and its burning up.
Meteors start to glow in the Mesosphere, and usually burn out in the upper Stratosphere. Put another way, when you first see a meteor, it is about 80 miles up, and when it "goes out" it is about 40 miles up.
Meteors shine like a star because of the friction with Earth's atmosphere as they travel at high speeds. This causes the meteor to heat up and glow.
In the very highest layer of the atmosphere, the ionosphere, solar particles collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms and green, blue and red light is given off.This light is the http://wiki.answers.com/FAQ/7810
the objects which enter the earths atmosphere are being pulled down towards the earths surface due to the earths gravity. And so it leads to falling falling of large objects from the space on the surface of the earth.
Meteors are space debris made of rock or metal. When they enter the Earths atmosphere they heat up through friction with the air and glow very brightly. They can be seen streaking across the sky and seem to be on fire. Hence the name fireball.
Meteors or space debris entering the Earth's atmosphere can reach speeds of over 90,000 mph. At such high velocities, friction with the atmosphere causes them to heat up and glow, creating the phenomenon known as a meteor or shooting star.
