A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes through the Earth's shadow.
Actually they do burn up when they pass through the earth's atmosphere.A meteoroid is a small rock or particle of debris in our solar system. A meteoroid that burns up as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere is known as a meteor.
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.
That's called a meteorite.

Visible light radiation passes most easily through Earth's atmosphere. This type of radiation includes the colors of the rainbow (RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET).

almost none the vast majority of visible light passes through the atmosphere.

It is the Prime Meridian.
A meteoroid in the atmosphere is a "meteor", and one that reaches the ground is a "meteorite".
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.
The moon darkens because it passes through Earths shadow.
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 meteor is a piece of space rock that passes through the Earth's atmosphere, burning up before it reaches the surface. A meteorite is the same piece of rock but it's big enough to survive the journey through the atmosphere, and hits the ground.
