The term that describes a bright streak of light resulting from a meteoroid burning up in Earth's atmosphere is "meteor." This phenomenon occurs when the meteoroid, entering the atmosphere at high speed, heats up and ionizes the surrounding air, creating a glowing trail. If the meteoroid survives its passage and lands on Earth, it is then called a meteorite.
