SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Meteoroids are objects in space that range in size from dust grains to small asteroids. Think of them as “space rocks.” When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors.

Detailed explanation-2: -A meteor air burst is a type of air burst in which a meteor explodes after entering a planetary body’s atmosphere. This fate leads them to be called fireballs or bolides, with the brightest air bursts known as superbolides.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -A shooting star is also known as meteor. Shooting stars are little rocks from space that catch fire as soon as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-5: -They enter Earth’s atmosphere (and are then called meteors) at roughly 133, 200 mph (60 kilometers per second) relative to the planet.
