The interplanetary material that burns up and becomes a bright glowing streak of light in the atmosphere is called a meteor.

Here's a breakdown:

* Meteoroid: A small piece of rock or dust in space, often originating from comets or asteroids.

* Meteor: The bright streak of light we see when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to friction.

* Meteorite: A meteoroid that survives its fiery descent and hits the ground.

So, the "glowing streak" is the result of the meteoroid's heat and friction with the air.
