When a meteoroid passes through Earth's atmosphere it's traveling very fast. The friction of the air makes gets the surface so hot it begins to burn or glow red hot. This fire is what you see as it goes through the atmosphere. If it burns up completely it's called a meteor.

A meteoroid is a small piece of space debris in the solar system. When a meteoroid enters the Earths atmosphere it becomes a meteor (shooting star).If the meteoroid survives the atmosphere and lands on the Earth, it becomes a meteorite.

As a rock is falling through the atmosphere, it is a meteor. When it hits the earths surface, it is a meteoroid.
The bright streak of light is the meteoroid burning up in the atmosphere due to friction from its extreme velocity. If the meteoroid completely burns up, it is called a meteor; if part of it makes it to the ground, it is called a meteorite.
