Columbia heated up and broke apart while entering the atmosphere.
A space rock that is entering Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. As it travels through the atmosphere and begins to heat up and produce bright light, it is then referred to as a meteor or shooting star.

A meteor
A stone entering Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. As it travels through the atmosphere and begins to burn up due to friction and heat, it is then called a meteor or shooting star. If any portion of the meteoroid reaches the Earth's surface, it is known as a meteorite.
Pieces of stone that enter the Earth's atmosphere are called meteoroids. Upon entering the atmosphere and creating a bright streak of light as they burn up, they are called meteors or shooting stars. If a meteor survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
The last layer of the atmosphere before entering space is called the exosphere. It is the outermost layer where the atmosphere gradually transitions into the vacuum of space.
The streak of light created by a meteoroid entering the Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. A meteorite is the remains of a meteoroid that did not vaporize after entering the Earth's atmosphere.
It is called the thermosphere.
Pieces of stone that enter the Earth's atmosphere are commonly referred to as meteoroids. When they burn up upon entering the atmosphere, they create a streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. If any fragments of the meteoroid reach the Earth's surface, they are called meteorites.
