How are meteors and stars made?
Researchers are: N.W & J.G
We found out that …………
Meteors are called shooting stars but they are not stars. They are pieces of rock or iron. Shooting stars fall from space to Earth. As it falls it makes streaks of light in the sky. Some shooting stars are big and some are small. Some shooting stars fall out of the sky and land on Earth. When they land on Earth they are called a meteorite. Sometimes if they are big they make a big hole called a crater when they land on the Earth. Most of them burn up in space though.
Stars are made of gases and dust. Gravity makes the gases and dust join together. The gas heats up when they come together and when the gas gets really hot that’s when the new star is born.
We got our information from:
