... compresses the air in front and around it so that the air glows and at night you see a "shooting star" - a meteor. If it impacts the ground before evaporating, it is a bolide and may leave a mineral remnant called a meteorite.

∙ 10y agoOne answer that could be given is a planet, but with rocks we mean something much smaller. Another answer is an asteroid which is a huge rock, some even being like small planets. The other answer would be a meteoroid, which is a smaller rock. They can enter the Earth's atmosphere and become meteors, and if they get through the atmosphere, and land on Earth they are known as meteorites.

∙ 11y agoLocating something in the vastness of space can take one of two forms. Most of the things we can see (or detect by radio) can be described as being such-and-such distance away and in a particular constellation. We think of constellations as sort of pictures made of stars (often very improbable pictures) but to an astronomer, constellations are map zones which cover the whole sky visible from Earth (on some far future day, we may need to develop constellations from other perspectives, but for now, Earth will do). If the object is much, much closer, we may be able to describe its orbit, and in so doing, know where it will be at a particular time and date, once again using constellations for reference. Comets and planets and the satellites are subject to this kind of description.
Actually, the stars (the nearest ones, at least) also move, but their distances are so great that we only need to readjust their positions every hundred years or so.
