Are falling stars just a myth?

No. Falling stars do exist, but they are not actually stars. Meteors, as they are properly called, are small pieces of rock falling from space. As they hit the atmosphere at extreme speeds they heat up and produce a streak of light before being vaporized. The actual stars are much larger and much farther away.
