Answer:

Shooting stars look like stars that quickly shoot across the sky, but they are not stars. A shooting star is really a small piece of rock or dust that hits Earth's atmosphere from space. It moves so fast that it heats up and glows as it moves through the atmosphere. Shooting stars are actually what astronomers call meteors. Most meteors burn up in the atmosphere before they reach the ground. However, once in a while a meteor is large enough than some of it survives and reaches Earth's surface. Then it is called a meteorite.

Answer:

Shooting Stars

➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️

A shooting star, known formally as a meteor, is the visible passage of a glowing meteoroid, micrometeoroid, comet or asteroid through Earth's atmosphere, after being heated to incandescence by collisions with air molecules in the upper atmosphere, creating a streak of light via rapid motion and sometimes via shedding glowing material in its wake. The visible streak of light is what gives a meteor the colloquially known name "a shooting star". If large enough, a meteor can fall to sea or land and is then a meteorite.
