Answer:

Far from being a body at rest, the Earth hurtles through space at 67,000 miles per hour (107,000 kilometers per hour) in its orbit around the sun. At that speed, a collision with any object in its path is bound to be eventful. Fortunately, the vast majority of those objects aren't much larger than pebbles. When a collision with such a particle happens at night, observers on Earth may witness a shooting star.

When a meteoroid enters the Earth's upper atmosphere, it heats up due to friction from the air. The heat causes gases around the meteoroid to glow brightly, and a meteor appears. ... Most meteors occur in Earth's mesosphere, about 50-80 kilometers (31-50 miles) above the Earth's surface.
