A shooting star is more properly called a meteor, as it has nothing to do with stars. A piece of rock, perhaps only the size of a dust grain, falls into the atmosphere from space. The heat of friction between the meteor and the air causes the air to ionize and glow. Normally the rock is completely vaporized before it reaches the ground.
