A shooting star is another name for a meteorite, small pieces of rock or ice passing through the upper atmosphere burning up as the air around them becomes thicker and creates friction. Some meteors dont burn up completely and land on earth

Those that survive and crash onto the Earth's surface are then called meteorites.
