The stars are so far from the Earth that they cannot be seen falling on the Earth.
In reality stars never break, they explode or die.
Falling stars are another type of objects present in the solar system.
Have you ever made a wish after seeing a falling star? If so, then he was not really a star. Yes, this is true and according to science, it is not surprising because the stars do not break, they explode, but they never break at all in the way that falling stars are seen in the sky. Let us know what these falling stars or shooting stars are and what is their truth.
First let us understand the truth of the stars. Stars are much bigger than the Earth. The Sun is also very far from us and because of this it looks like a ball whereas the stars appear only as dots in the dark sky. They are at a distance of millions and billions of light years and that is why they look so small.
One truth is that stars never fall, the way we see these shooting stars. The stars explode and due to this they do not break, but due to this, light and radiation spread rapidly all around. Stars gradually exhaust their fuel and die, after which their remains either form neutron stars or turn black. But these stars cannot come near the Earth under any circumstances.

Then what are falling stars? Falling stars are actually meteors and meteorites. In fact, they are asteroids and big rocks that come near the Earth’s atmosphere. The special thing is that these rocks are the remains of an asteroid or comet. These even penetrate into the Earth’s atmosphere.
When these rocks or large pieces of stone enter the atmosphere, they face strong friction with the air in the atmosphere. The situation becomes such that they start burning due to strong friction while falling. These burning rocks are called meteorites. The interesting thing is that almost all of them burn up and are unable to reach the earth. That is why when seen falling from the sky, they appear like falling stars.
