Shooting stars are bright streaks of light that you see in the sky for just a few seconds. They happen when small pieces of space rock called meteoroids zoom into Earth's atmosphere very fast and start to burn up. Unlike the sun, planets, and stars, which seem to move slowly, shooting stars flash across the sky quickly. So, when you see a shooting star, it’s really a tiny rock glowing as it falls through the air!
What are “shooting stars”? Refer to the notes in your Evidence Notebook to help you construct an explanation for what causes shooting stars.
To help completely summarize the evidence, consider including the following in your response:
→A shooting star moves quickly and lasts for only a few seconds, and it produces light.
→The sun, planets, asteroids, dwarf planets, stars, and moons appear to move slowly across the sky during the night, so shooting stars are probably not caused by these objects.
→Meteors are short streaks of light that happen when meteoroids burn up as they travel through the air.
