There are no "falling stars". The phenomena we call a "falling star" is actually a meteor burning up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere.
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.
The pocket of air that surrounds the earth is called the earths Atmosphere
