1. Meteors

   or Shooting Stars are small bodies consisting of iron, stone, and certain other familiar elements which are scattered in immense numbers through planetary space; they revolve round the sun in clouds or in long strings, and when the earth gets close to them numbers are drawn down to its surface, friction with the atmosphere rendering them luminous and grinding them usually to fine dust; larger meteors are known as fireballs and aërolites, many of which have reached the earth; comets are masses of meteors.

Examples of Meteors in a Sentence

1. Mike Hankey:

   Bright moon phases are bad for meteor showers as they wash out the dimmer meteors, a full or almost full moon dominates one part of the sky, making that part undesirable for observing meteors. The full moon also lasts the entire night, leaving no hours of complete darkness, which is preferred.

2. Bonnie MacLachlan:

   The Greeks, and Babylonians before them, saw the upper sky as the home of the gods when meteors fell to Earth, instead of reasoning that there might be rocks up there, they felt that divinity must reside in the fallen meteorite and worshipped it.

3. Judson Jones:

   Light pollution is one of the biggest struggles when trying to see meteors, and it seems to be getting worse each year.

4. Robert Lunsford:

   The radiant is expected to be a large area of the sky and not a pinpoint. So any slow meteor from this general area of the sky can be expected to be from SW3, you need not look directly overhead as meteors may appear in any portion of the sky. They are actually more likely to appear at lower elevations in the sky since at these elevations one is looking through a far thicker slice of the atmosphere that when looking straight upwards.

5. Alcee Hastings:

   Meteors fizz out, what she will learn in this institution is that it's glacial to begin with, and therefore no matter how far you rise, that's just how far you will ultimately get your comeuppance.
