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.
What we call falling stars are really just pieces of space debris or rock burning up as they enter the earth's atmosphere, so they are comparatively not very far away. We see it almost as it happens.
A chunk of rock from space that has entered Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. When it travels through the atmosphere and begins to burn up due to friction, it creates a bright streak of light known as a meteor shower or "shooting star." If it survives the journey through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then referred to as a meteorite. These objects can originate from asteroids, comets, or even the Moon and Mars.
