-A '''meteor''' is a ''[[meteoroid]]'' (a small rocky object in space) that has entered the Earth's atmosphere.  Friction causes it to burn in the atmosphere, causing the meteor to glow brightly.  For this reason, a meteor is often referred to as a "shooting star" or "falling star".  Most meteors are small and burn up in less than a second, but some very large ones glow brightly for many seconds and are called "fireballs" or "bolides."  (See also [[Asteroid]]).
