What is another name for a meteor or falling star?
Technically, by the time it becomes a "falling star", it is no longer a space object. A space rock floating in space is called a "meteoroid". When it falls into the Earth's atmosphere, the object's speed through the air causes friction and pressure, and both of these cause intense heating. The space rock will heat to incandescence, and the streak of light caused by the glowing object is called a "meteor". This is the phenomenon that we sometimes call a "falling star". If the rock survives and actually hits the Earth, the rock or its fragments are called "meteorites".
