A streak of light in the sky produced by the burning of a meteoroid in Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. As the meteoroid enters the atmosphere at high speed, it experiences intense friction with air molecules, causing it to heat up and emit light. This phenomenon is often colloquially referred to as a "shooting star." If the meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.

Meteoroids don't enter the earths atmosphere, Meteors do. Meteoroids are the rocks that you find on the ground after a meteor penetrated the atmosphere and made it to the ground.

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.
