شهاب‌وارهٔ کوچک که وارد جو زمین می‌شود

AI overview

A meteor is a bright streak of light that appears in the sky when a small piece of rock or dust from space enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up from friction. Meteors are worth noticing because they're visible signs of the cosmic material constantly traveling through space, and occasionally larger meteors can reach Earth's surface as meteorites.
