Answer:
meteor
Explanation:
The most logical identification of a "shooting star" is a meteor. A meteor is basically any material from outerspace that falls to Earth. The main characteristic of a meteor is that from our point of view on the surface of the Earth it looks like a shooting star because we see a streak of light behind it. This light is simply dust and rock from the meteor burning up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere, leaving a "tail" of light behind it. Which to us looks like a shooting star.
