Answer:
Explanation:
Comets also create meteoroids as they orbit the sun and shed dust and debris. 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.

Answer:
If a meteoroid comes close enough to Earth and enters Earth's atmosphere, it vaporizes and turns into a meteor: a streak of light in the sky. Because of their appearance, these streaks of light are sometimes called "shooting stars." But meteors are not actually stars.
What happens to a meteor after it hits Earth?
Also, if the meteor is approaching Earth at a slower speed, the rock will likely survive its collision with Earth's atmosphere, Moorhead added. In other words, the meteor will not burn up completely, and some remnant meteorites will fall to the ground
Is it safe to touch a meteorite?
Try not to handle any freshly fallen meteorites with your bare hands! Oils and microbes from your skin will slowly degrade the surface of a meteorite, dulling the fusion crust, contaminating the meteorite, and promoting rust
