SPACE.com -- Meteor Showers and Shooting Stars: A Primer (1035 words)
Shooting stars are mostly grit from space colliding at very high speed with air molecules high up in the sky.
Many shooting stars are produced by grit no larger than a grain of sand.
On a typical night a shooting star can be seen every 10 to 15 minutes, but on some nights of the year a spectacular "meteor shower" occurs and shooting stars can be seen every few minutes or less.
