if a meteor crashs, it makes a crater and explodes when the inpact of it, comes through a atsmophere
We call the fireball caused by friction and compressive heating a "meteor" as it passes through the atmosphere. The fragments that last long enough to strike the ground are called "meteorites".
A meteor shower happens when the Earth passes through a debris field of a comet's orbit or other similar celestial debris that may or may not have a regular cycle of occurrence. The term meteor shower refers to an unusual number of meteors visible per minute in the night sky as shooting stars. When you see a shooting star, you are actually seeing a meteor burn up in the outer reaches of our atmosphere. If you see 3 or more shooting stars (meteors burning up) per minute in the night sky, you are in a meteor shower. Most the time it is difficult to tell if you are in a meteor shower because of the low count per hour versus the count per minute. You can got to the web site for the American Meteor Society for listing and dates of various meteor showers.
When Earth passes through a cluster of meteoroids, the meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction, creating meteor showers. These meteor showers are often visible to observers as bright streaks of light in the night sky. The meteoroids are typically small fragments of comets or asteroids.
Meteor is often referred to as "The Shooting Star of the Meteor Galaxy."

If a meteor hits you, in all likelihood, you will die.
Meteor is a rock that crashes into our atmosphere. An asteroid would be the last rock object that crashed into our atmosphere, since it would wipe out life on the planet.
