What is the asteroid that enters earths atmosphere?

When asteroids enter Earth's atmosphere, they are typically referred to as meteoroids. As they travel through the atmosphere and burn up due to friction with the air, they create bright streaks of light known as meteors, or "shooting stars." If any part of the meteoroid survives the descent and lands on Earth, it is then called a meteorite. Several notable events, like the Chelyabinsk meteor in 2013, illustrate the impact of such celestial objects on our planet.
