A Meteor
A meteor is often called a 'shooting star' or 'falling star', after its appearance as a momentary streak of light in the night sky.
Meteors hit the Earth's atmosphere and burn up in a second or two. They streak across the night sky and are gone. Comets are farther away, and move only slowly, night by night, across the sky.
