Which is nearest to us a comet bright enough to see or a shooting star?
A so-called "shooting star" is closer than a comet. The "shooting star" is a grain of sand, a small stone, or a rock, that runs into the earth's atmosphere, and burns up on its way down to the surface. If a comet ever enters the atmosphere, we have a major problem.
What is the difference between a comet and shooting star?
A comet orbits the sun. Comets can sometimes be seen from earth as bright objects in the sky but they do not enter the earth's atmosphere. A shooting star is another expression for a meteor, a piece of something falling from space into the earth's atmosphere and creating a visible trail.

How shooting star are made?
Shooting stars aren't 'made'. Shooting stars are actually meteors, meteorites, or asteroids that have gotten so close the atmosphere of a planet, that they start to burn up. These asteroids are traveling extremely fast, so when we look into the night sky, all we see is a white streak, and the white is the flame engulfing the entire asteroid and the flame is trailing behind the asteroid, creating the "comet's tail". This is what is known as the shooting star.
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.
