Meteor

The video explains the differences between meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites. Meteoroids are small particles from comets or asteroids orbiting the sun. When they enter Earth's atmosphere, they become meteors, creating streaks of light known as shooting stars. If a meteor survives its journey through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite. The video also discusses meteor showers, which occur when Earth passes through a comet's tail, and highlights that most meteorites land in oceans. The video concludes with a review of these concepts.
