On a clear dark night, you might see a quick bright streak zip across the sky and disappear.
A tiny piece of space rock burning up as it zooms into our air is correct — this rock, called a meteoroid, plunges into Earth's atmosphere at incredible speed, and friction heats it until it glows brightly for a moment.
It isn't a star falling, since real stars are enormous and far away, and it isn't a blinking airplane either — those move slowly and steadily, not in one quick streak.
Some nights offer 'meteor showers,' when Earth passes through dusty debris from a comet, letting you see dozens of shooting stars in one hour!
