Oh, dude, falling stars look like giant fireballs just casually cruising through the night sky, leaving a super epic trail of light behind them. It's like Mother Nature's own shooting gallery up there, but way cooler. So, yeah, if you catch one, make a wish or something, but don't blame me if it doesn't come true.
Falling stars, also known as meteors, appear as bright streaks of light as they enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to the friction. The streak of light is caused by the air surrounding the meteor being superheated and ionized, producing a glowing trail that we see from the ground. The appearance of a falling star can vary in brightness, color, and duration depending on factors such as the size of the meteoroid, its speed, and its composition. Some meteors may leave a lingering glowing trail, while others may appear as a quick, bright streak across the sky.
Oh, what a delightful question. Shooting stars are actually tiny bits of dust and debris from space that burn up as they enter Earth's atmosphere. Once they streak across the night sky, they simply return to their humble origins in the vast expanse of the universe. Just imagine the beauty and wonder of that endless cycle. It's like whispers of nature dancing among the stars.
Stars appear to move across the sky during the night due to Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth spins, the stars appear to rise in the east and set in the west, giving the illusion of movement across the sky. This phenomenon is similar to how the sun and moon also appear to move across the sky during the day and night.
Shooting stars, also known as meteors, are made when small particles from space, called meteoroids, enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction with the air. This creates a streak of light across the night sky. The speed at which the meteoroid travels and the angle at which it enters the atmosphere determine the brightness and length of the streak.
Stars appear to move across the Earth's sky each night due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates from west to east, different stars become visible in the sky. This apparent motion is known as the diurnal motion of stars.
No. So-called "falling stars" are in fact meteors, which are tiny bits of dirt that burn up in the atmosphere, giving a streak in the sky giving the name "falling stars" or "shooting stars". An actual star getting near Earth would burn up the Earth. The nearest star to us is the Sun, at about 93 million miles away. There is no chance of it hitting us.
They are called falling stars because the narrow streak of light looks as if a star is falling from the sky.
No. Falling stars do exist, but they are not actually stars. Meteors, as they are properly called, are small pieces of rock falling from space. As they hit the atmosphere at extreme speeds they heat up and produce a streak of light before being vaporized. The actual stars are much larger and much farther away.
Because when they streak through the Earth's atmosphere, they look like stars - pinpoints of light in the sky. Only that they're moving real fast, which makes it easy to call them things like "falling" or "shooting" stars.

A pattern of stars which seems to move across the night sky together is called a constellation. Hope this helped :D

Falling Stars happened in 2007.
Yes falling stars and shooting stars are meteors and meteorites.
Stars appear to move across the sky each night because the earth is moving, but not the stars. Also some stars are only visible during certain seasons because as the earth rotates, they become visible.
cos some are shooting stars and comets! and stars move around
