الاستخدام والفروق الدقيقة
Common in scientific and casual contexts. 'Meteor shower' is a frequent phrase (many meteors visible in one night). Often called 'shooting star' in everyday speech, but this is not a real star. Do not confuse 'meteor' (burning in atmosphere) with 'meteorite' (the part that reaches the ground) or 'comet' (icy space object with tail).
