First off, shooting stars aren`t actually stars. They`re actually pieces of space rock called meteors. When meteors enter Earth`s atmosphere, they burn up, producing bright lights as they move through the sky. That is, if it`s night. If it`s day, then you can`t see them light up. Meteors are so fast that people say they`re faster than a speeding bullet, hence the name ''shooting'' star.
