Meteors are just bits of dust, dirt or debris in space that enter Earth's atmosphere. They are often from comets. As they enter our atmosphere they burn up and fly through it. They look like stars shooting through the sky, hence the common names shooting stars or falling stars.
Meteors are mistakenly called shooting stars because they appear as streaks of light in the sky when they enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up. They are not actually stars, but small rocky or metallic objects, often debris from comets or asteroids, that collide with Earth's atmosphere. As they heat up from the friction, they vaporize and create the glowing trails we see.
Meteors are made up of rocks and ice and dust from space where as shooting stars are falling stars.

Both shoting stars you see are which we know as meteors are real and were captured on fim as they shot the movie.

They are called shooting stars as well.
Shooting or falling stars are called, "Meteors". When they hit the ground, they are called "Meteorites".
Yes. Shooting stars, properly called meteors, are heated to thousands of degrees as they enter the atmosphere.
Yes falling stars and shooting stars are meteors and meteorites.
Asteroids are also known as meteors, shooting stars, falling stars, bolides and comets.

shooting stars are meteors which are made from rock and other metals like iron
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.
