How is a shooting star different from a constellation?

A shooting star is not a star. It is a misleading term for what is a meteor. It may look like a star shooting through space, but it is just a bit of dust that is burning up in our atmosphere and which we see very briefly as this happens. A constellation is a group of stars that we see as a pattern in the sky. There are 88 official constellations.
