The Momentum of the Meteorite gradually slows down because of the frictional force created by the earth's atmosphere.
Explanation:
Whenever a meteorite enters the Earth's surface, the atmosphere of the Earth tries to stop the meteorites. Due to the momentum, a meteorite enters the Earth's surface with full force and it gradually burns up because of the friction force created between the Earth's atmosphere and the meteorite.
