What is the meteoroid that burns up in earths atmosphere?

The meteoroid that burns up in Earth's atmosphere is known as a meteor. When a meteoroid, which is a small rocky or metallic body from space, enters the atmosphere at high speed, it heats up due to friction with the air, causing it to glow and create a streak of light commonly referred to as a "shooting star." If it survives the descent and lands on Earth, it is then classified as a meteorite.
