Most of us probably have seen meteors or shooting stars. A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. ... If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
