4About it
A meteor, or shooting star, is the streak of light made when a bit of space rock rushes into the air at tens of kilometers a second and burns up. Most are no bigger than a grain of sand. A very bright one is called a fireball, and a piece that survives to reach the ground is a meteorite.
Tap it and it streaks in and bursts in a fireball, its rock flying apart in glowing pieces that burn out. Then the next one streaks in to take its place. Many tons of space dust fall on the Earth every day.
