A meteor is primarily made up of rock and metal. When it enters the Earth's atmosphere, it heats up due to friction with the air, causing it to glow and create a visible streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. The composition can vary, with many meteors originating from asteroids or comets, containing elements like iron, nickel, and silicates.
