A meteor is characterized by its bright streak of light, known as a "shooting star," that occurs when a meteoroid enters Earth’s atmosphere and burns up due to friction with the air. This process produces a luminous trail, typically lasting just a few seconds. Meteors can vary in size, but most are small particles, often no larger than a grain of sand. If a meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is then called a meteorite.
