A shooting star is really a meteorite. A small piece of a meteorite breaks off of an asteroid when it enters Earth’s atmosphere, causing it to shoot across the sky.
Yes! It is possible. There is a place called Meteor Crater, Arizona, where an enormous meteorite landed in the desert about 50,000 years ago. The crater is more than 11 football fields wide and 600 feet deep.
