Definition of meteor in English English dictionary: A prop similar to poi balls, in that it is twirled at the end of a cord or cable; A striking weapon resembling a Track and Field hammer consisting of a weight swung at the end of a cable or chain; A fast moving streak of light in the night sky caused by the entry of extraterrestrial matter into the earth's atmosphere; {n} a transient luminous appearance or fire ball, any phenomenon in the air; The flash of light one sees in the sky when a meteoroid enters the atmosphere at high speed and burns up It's a Greek word which actually means "phenomenon which occurs in the sky "; The luminous phenomenon seen when a meteoroid enters the atmosphere, commonly known as a shooting star; A juggling prop similar to poi balls, in that it is twirled at the end of a cord or cable; A small particle of rock or dust that burns away in the Earth's atmosphere Meteors are also referred to as shooting stars; the light phenomenon produced by a meteoroid experiencing frictional heating when entering a planetary atmosphere; also used for the glowing meteoroid itself If particularly bright, it is described as a fireball; the trail of light left when a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up; Particles (usually small) as they burn up in the atmosphere, usually leaving a brief trail of light behind them as seen from the ground See also: fireball, meteor shower, meteorite, meteoroid, radiant; Any phenomenon or appearance in the atmosphere, as clouds, rain, hail, snow, etc; A meteoroid that has entered Earth's atmosphere; Small rocky and/or icy particles that are swept up by the earth in its orbit about the sun Also called "shooting stars", they travel across the sky in a very short time, from less than a second to several seconds, and they do so because they are only a matter of tens of miles above the surface of the earth Meteor showers are generally thought to be produced by the debris left by comets as the latter orbit the sun (Comets, on the other hand, are not in our atmosphere but are much further away than is our own Moon; therefore, comets do not "streak" across the sky as do meteors -- a common misconception among the general public ) A small particle which enters the earth's atmosphere (at a velocity of anything up to 72km, per second) and becomes heated by friction, so that it destroys itself in the streak of luminosity known as a shooting-star; A fast moving streak of light in the night sky caused by the entry of extraterrestrial matter into the earths atmosphere; {i} body of matter which falls through the earth's atmosphere producing a transient fiery streak; meteoroid, meteorite (Astronomy); The light phenomenon produced by an object experiencing frictional heating when entering a planetary atmosphere; also used for the glowing meteor itself If particularly large, it is described as a fireball; Bright streak of light caused by a meteoroid falling and burning up in the Earth's atmosphere; A bit of solid debris from space, burning up in Earth's atmosphere due to friction with the air (The luminous streaks they trace across the sky are commonly called "shooting stars,'' although they have nothing to do with stars!) Before entering Earth's atmosphere (with a typical speed of about 25,000 mph) the body is called a meteoroid If any of the object survives its fiery passage down through the air, then those parts which hit the ground are called meteorites; A meteor is a piece of rock or metal that burns very brightly when it enters the earth's atmosphere from space. a piece of rock or metal that travels through space, and makes a bright line in the night sky when it falls down towards the Earth (météore, from meteorum, from meteoron , from meteoros ). or shooting star or falling star Streak of light in the sky that results when a particle or small chunk of stony or metallic matter from space enters Earth's atmosphere and is vapourized by friction. The term is sometimes applied to the falling object itself, properly called a meteoroid. Most meteoroids, traveling at five times the speed of sound or more, burn up in the upper atmosphere, but a large one may survive its fiery plunge and reach the surface as a solid body (meteorite). See also meteor shower; Specif; Also known as a "shooting star" or "falling star", is a bright streak of light in the sky caused by a meteorite as it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere; A bright streak of light in the sky caused by a meteoroid or a small icy particle entering Earth's atmosphere It is also known as a "shooting star" or "falling star " Meteor showers sometimes occur when the Earth passes through debris left behind an orbitting comet; A stony or metallic piece of matter that enters the earth's atmosphere; A small particle which enters the Earth's atmosphere (at a velocity of anything up to 72km, per second) and becomes heated by friction, so that it destroys itself in the streak of luminosity known as a shooting-star; A flash of light produced by a particle in the atmosphere moving so rapidly that it becomes luminous; (astronomy) any of the small solid extraterrestrial bodies that hits the earth's atmosphere; The luminous phenomena observed when a meteoroid is heated by its entry into the Earth's atmosphere; The bright streak of light that appears in the sky as a result of friction between a meteoroid and the air molecules in our atmosphere Entering the atmosphere at speeds between 10 and 70 kilometers per second, the friction-generated heat is hot enough to melt the surface layer of the object and ionize the air The term originated with the Greeks circa 350 B C In its original Greek form, the word was meteora/meteoros and meant something raised up high into the air Most of the meteors that are observed are produced by a meteoroid that is no larger than a grain of sand The altitude at which the visible streak of light first appears is approximately 110 kilometers, +/- 20 kilometers; A transient luminous body or appearance seen in the atmosphere, or in a more elevated region; This term describes the bright streak of light caused by a meteoroid as it burns up in Earth's atmosphere Other names for a meteor include "shooting star" and "falling star"; Small rocks or sand making a bright trail through the sky as it burns in the atmosphere See Asteroid, Comet and Meteor Facts page; A meteoroid that burns up in Earth's atmosphere Also called a Shooting Star; a streak of light in the sky at night that results when a meteoroid hits the earth's atmosphere and air friction causes the meteoroid to melt or vaporize or explode; Popularly called a "shooting star" or a "falling star", a meteor is actually an object usually ranging from the size of a dust particle to a rock that enters Earth's atmosphere, and is heated by the friction of air resistance Most meteors originate from comets; A body that enters the earth's atmosphere and becomes incandescent by friction A 'shooting star'; meteoroid from space zips through the atmosphere at many thousands of miles per hour There are two schools of thought as to why the meteoroid heats up so much The classical view is that it is caused by collisions with molecules in the atmosphere, commonly considered the same as friction The other version deals with compression of the air in front of the moving particle ("ram pressure") The atmosphere in front of the meteoroid is pushed pushed violently out of the way, which compresses it The high compression heats the air (adiabatic compression) which in turn heats the meteoroid, and both the air and the particles of meteoroid are ionized and begin to glow In any event, a rapidly traveling meteoroid carries momentum (mass times velocity), and upon entering our atmosphere is slowed very quickly (decelerated) In the process of rapid deceleration, the energy of motion has to go somewhere, and it if cannot be drained off immediately, it turns to heat; The incandescent streak of light seen when a meteorite passes through the atmosphere of a planet Often referred to as a falling star
meteor shower: A phenomenon occurring when many meteors are seen on Earth during a short period of time
meteor showers: plural form of meteor shower
meteor shower: a transient shower of meteors when a meteor swarm enters the earth's atmosphere
meteor shower: A large number of meteors that appear together and seem to come from the same area in the sky. Entry into Earth's atmosphere of multiple meteoroids (see meteor), traveling in parallel paths, usually spread over several hours or days. Most meteor showers come from matter released during passage of a comet close to the Sun, and they recur annually as Earth crosses the comet's orbital path. Meteor showers are usually named for a constellation (e.g., Leonid for Leo) or star in their direction of origin. Most showers are visible as a few dozen meteors per hour, but occasionally Earth crosses an especially dense concentration of meteoroids, as in the great Leonid meteor shower of 1833, in which hundreds of thousands of meteors were seen in one night all over North America
meteor swarm: a group of meteoroids with similar paths
Leonid Meteor Shower: (Astronomy) yearly meteor shower that occurs during the month of November in or near the constellation Leo (peaks dramatically every 33 years with the passing of the comet Tempel-Tuttle)
meteors: plural of meteor

Etymology

[ 'mE-tE-&r, -"or ] (noun.) 15th century. Of Middle English origin, derived from the Latin meteorum, from the Ancient Greek μετέωρον (meteōron), from μετέωρος (meteōros, “raised from the ground, hanging, lofty”), from μετά (meta, “in the midst of, among, between”) + ἀείρω (aeiro, “to lift, to heave, to raise up”).
