Shooting stars, or meteors, are made of rock and metal. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, it burns up due to friction with the air, creating the streak of light that we see in the sky.

How shooting star are made?

Shooting stars aren't 'made'. Shooting stars are actually meteors, meteorites, or asteroids that have gotten so close the atmosphere of a planet, that they start to burn up. These asteroids are traveling extremely fast, so when we look into the night sky, all we see is a white streak, and the white is the flame engulfing the entire asteroid and the flame is trailing behind the asteroid, creating the "comet's tail". This is what is known as the shooting star.
