The term "fireball" can refer to various phenomena, but in a scientific context, it often describes a bright meteor. The scientific name for a meteor is "meteoroid" before it enters the Earth's atmosphere, and once it becomes a bright streak of light during its atmospheric entry, it is called a "meteor." If the object survives the fall and lands on Earth, it is then referred to as a "meteorite."
