The friction with atmosphere causes heat and the meteor eventually burns out.
A burning piece of rock from space is commonly referred to as a meteor. When it enters the Earth's atmosphere, the friction with the air causes it to heat up and produce a bright streak of light, known as a meteor or "shooting star." If it survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite. These celestial objects can vary in size from tiny grains to large boulders.
The meteor left a large crater where it landed.

because it was bright It reflects light from the sun. The sun is very bright. The moon is large and very close to the earth.

When asteroids enter Earth's atmosphere, they start to burn up due to friction with air molecules. This causes them to create a bright streak known as a meteor or shooting star. If they are large enough to survive the entry, they may impact the ground as meteorites.
Not really. The vast majority of meteors are the size of grains of sand. There are a few that would measure a couple inches across. the chances of a large rock being in the debris trail which causes the meteor shower are slim to none. A meteor shower is caused by bits of debris left behind by a comet. Comets are made of ice, not rock. Nothing dangerous there.

Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.
Seawater that is discoloured by large numbers of certain dinoflagellates that produce saxitoxin. I don't know the effects.
Yes, sometimes they did.
