Falling Star
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.
The main force acting on a falling meteor through the Earth's atmosphere is gravity. Gravity pulls the meteor downward towards the Earth's surface, causing it to accelerate as it falls. Air resistance also plays a role in slowing down the meteor's descent as it interacts with the atmosphere.
A meteor is often called a 'shooting star' or 'falling star', after its appearance as a momentary streak of light in the night sky.
A falling star or meteor is a fragment of rock in orbit round the Sun, which happens to be intercepted by the Earth's atmosphere. At some point the Earth's gravity takes over and captures the meteor, and the meteor falls at high speed. Most meteors burn out before reaching the ground.
