Yes, some of it can. Infrared radiation is trapped by greenhouse gases, but not all of it is trapped. These gases only trap radiation in very specific parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, so there are "windows" where it can escape.

The Earth's atmosphere blocks most of the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, as well as certain infrared wavelengths. This is important for protecting life on Earth from harmful radiation. Most radio waves, visible light, and some infrared and ultraviolet radiation are able to pass through the atmosphere.
Visible light, particularly in the green spectrum, has the easiest time getting through Earth's atmosphere. This is because it is less likely to be scattered or absorbed by atmospheric particles compared to shorter (blue and violet) and longer (infrared) wavelengths. The transparency of the atmosphere to visible light allows it to reach the surface effectively, which is why we perceive sunlight as predominantly white or yellowish during the day.
Ultraviolet light does not directly heat Earth's atmosphere the most. Rather, visible light, including blue light, and infrared radiation from the Sun are primarily responsible for heating Earth's atmosphere through interactions with the surface and the gases in the atmosphere. Ultraviolet light mainly affects the ozone layer in the stratosphere, which plays a crucial role in protecting the Earth from harmful UV radiation.

Infrared light passes through glass because glass is transparent to infrared radiation. Glass does not absorb or reflect infrared light, allowing it to transmit through the material.

As far as you like. For example it travels from the sun and gets through our atmosphere without much difficulty.
Most of the visible light and some of the ultraviolet and infrared radiation from the sun pass through the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface. Other forms of radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays, are mostly absorbed by the atmosphere and do not reach the surface.
The streak of light across the sky caused when a space rock falls through the atmosphere and is heated to incandescence is a "meteor".
The Earth and atmosphere absorb the visible and infrared energy and this warms the earth.
No, visible light and infrared light do not pass through the same types of materials. Visible light can pass through materials like glass and water, while infrared light can pass through materials like plastic and some fabrics.

Virtually anything falling through earths atmosphere from space will heat up to the point of incandescence, that is, it will "light up". A piece of rock, the remains of an old satellite, etc.
