· The pieces of rocks, which move around the sun, are
called meteoroids. Sometimes these meteoroids come near the earth and tend to drop
upon it. During this process due to friction with the air they get heated up
and burn. It causes a flash of light. They are known a meteors or shooting
stars.
· Especially bright meteors are called fireballs. Some
fireballs are so bright that they can be seen in the daytime.
