      Firstly, stars don’t fall. What people describe as ‘falling stars’ or ‘shooting stars’ are actually meteors, which are composed of dust and rock particles that fall from outer space into the earth’s atmosphere and burn up. This burning up emits a bright light that makes them appear like stars
