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 correct name for a shooting star is a Meteorite. Before a meteorite enters the Earths atmosphere it is called a Meteoroid.
