What you're describing is likely a comet. Comets are icy celestial bodies that, when they approach the Sun, heat up and release gas and dust, creating a glowing coma and often a tail that points away from the Sun. This tail can give the appearance of a star with a tail as it moves across the night sky. Occasionally, meteors can also create a similar effect when they enter Earth’s atmosphere, producing bright streaks of light known as "shooting stars."
