No. Falling stars do exist, but they are not actually stars. Meteors, as they are properly called, are small pieces of rock falling from space. As they hit the atmosphere at extreme speeds they heat up and produce a streak of light before being vaporized. The actual stars are much larger and much farther away.


Do shooting stars collide with other stars?

Shooting stars are not stars. They are bits of dirt and dust that burn up in our atmosphere. As they fly through our atmosphere they briefly look stars, which is how the names shooting or falling stars have come about, but they are not stars. Were such a piece of dirt to head toward a star, it would burn up long before it got anywhere close to it, so it could not hit it. A shooting star is usually what most call meteors and burn up in earths atmosphere giving the appearance of a falling star.
