Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shooting stars in a meteor shower are typically caused by pea-sized particles from a comet entering Earth's atmosphere. These particles burn up due to friction with the Earth's atmosphere, creating the streak of light in the sky known as a shooting star. Boulder-sized particles would be too large to burn up completely and would likely result in a meteorite impact if they reached the surface of the Earth. Microscopic particles would not create a visible shooting star. Asteroids are also a separate type of object from comets and do not typically produce meteor showers.
