Detailed explanation-1: -Some come from comets, others from asteroids, and some even come from the Moon and other planets. Some meteoroids are rocky, while others are metallic, or combinations of rock and metal. When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere, or that of another planet, like Mars, at high speed and burn up, they’re called meteors.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meteor showers occur when Earth passes through the trail of dust and gas left by a comet. The particles enter Earth’s atmosphere and most burn up in a lively light show-a meteor shower.
Detailed explanation-3: -They are meteors. Meteors can be defined as rocks present in space (collection of dust and debris) that falls towards Earth and enters its atmosphere. As they pass through the sky, they create a bright tail of light. Thus, they are called shooting stars.
