A meteor is a lump of rock in space. When one of these pieces of rock comes close to the earth it may burn up in the atmosphere as a shooting star. An earth grazing meteor is a meteor that has come close enough to our atmosphere that it starts to burn up, but will still pass us by as the angle is too shallow. It will go back out into space having been deflected by earths gravity.
Meteor-ite.
When a meteor hits the Earth it forms a crater.
That depends on where you are on the Earth and where the meteor hits. ________________ Wherever you are on earth, if an object the size of the earth collided directly with us (at that size it would be a rogue planet, I think, rather than a meteor) then certainly all life on earth would come to an end, and likely within minutes.

There aren't meteor showers "in" the Ursa Major, or "in" any specific constellation. Meteor showers happen here in Earth's atmosphere; sometimes they seem to come from a specific direction (not the "real" direction, but a combination of the meteorites' movement and Earth's movement around the Sun), and are named after the direction (i.e., constellation) from which they come. When meteorites thus come in groups, they are believed to be the remainder of some comet, that happen to cross Earth's path around the Sun.
Another name for a meteor that is visible from Earth is Meteoroid.
A meteor does not produce light, a shadow on the Earth is caused when the meteor blocks the Sun's rays. The meteor does this when it is placed in between the Sun and the Earth, this is called an eclipse.
