Oh what a lovely question, my friend! I have indeed made many wishes upon those beautiful shooting stars in the sky. Each time I saw one streaking across the night, I would close my eyes and think of something warm and wonderful to wish for, knowing that the universe is always listening and loves to help make our dreams come true. Never forget, my friend, to always keep believing in the magic that surrounds us every day.
Asteroids are large pieces of rock, many big enough to be considered to be small planets. Shooting star is an incorrect name for a meteor. They have nothing to do with stars. They are small pieces of rock or dust that burn up in our atmosphere as they go through it. We seem them as something streaking across the sky in seconds.
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.
A meteor that's what it is
A shooting star in French is called "une étoile filante."
No. So-called "falling stars" are in fact meteors, which are tiny bits of dirt that burn up in the atmosphere, giving a streak in the sky giving the name "falling stars" or "shooting stars". An actual star getting near Earth would burn up the Earth. The nearest star to us is the Sun, at about 93 million miles away. There is no chance of it hitting us.

It's called a 'meteor', 'shooting star', 'falling star', etc.
A piece of space debris burning up in the atmosphere creating a streak of light across the sky that looks like a star falling... or shooting, as it were.
When a meteor reaches the earths atmosphere, it starts to burn due to friction. The glow produced due to its burning makes it look like a falling star(shooting star). Hence they are called shooting stars.
do you mean a shooting star? because a shooting star is actually an asteroid. that is all lies.
Matariki is the name of the Seven Sisters star cluster also known as Pleiades star cluster. The name Matariki is from the Maori language. A shooting star or falling star is not a star at all. It is a fragment of meteoroids that fall into the Earth's atmosphere.
