The night sky has always raised many questions among humans. Our astronomers have also revealed many mysteries. Still, there are many things which are visible in the tone of conversation among people but their reality is something else. One such question is what is the difference between a falling and a falling star. At a glance these two appear to be the same, but on closer inspection it turns out that they are different and the answer is surprising.
So first of all let us understand what a falling star is. Shooting stars are such meteors. These are called meteors. These come into our atmosphere from space. Meteors are rocks of an asteroid or the remains of a comet. When they enter our atmosphere, they start burning due to friction and people on Earth think that they are falling stars.
These falling stars never reach the earth’s surface because they burn up long before they reach the surface. But some rocks are so big that they reach the surface, such meteors are called meteorites, they are called meteorites in English. These are called falling stars.

Meteorites have been found in many places in the world. Falling stars are seen falling in the sky for a long time. Whereas falling stars are lost within a short time because they burn up and die. But these are very precious for scientists because a lot of information about our solar system is hidden in them.
The interesting thing is that neither shooting stars nor falling stars are any kind of stars. The truth is that stars neither break nor fall. Stars are billions of kilometers away from the Earth. They cannot fall to earth in any way. Apart from this, the stars also do not fall. They may burst or disintegrate.
