Step-by-step explanation:

When small meteoroids hit Earth's atmosphere, they typically burn up, producing a streak of light called a shooting star. Meteor showers occur when streams of dust particles traveling through space together enter Earth's atmosphere. These particles create a burst of meteor activity that usually lasts several hours. Meteorites are larger chunks of rocky or metallic material that survive their passage through the atmosphere and land on Earth.
