A principle by which a meteor shines

A meteor passing through the night sky, why does it shine and fall like a flame?

A meteor is actually a small piece of stone or dust.
If this piece hits the Earth's atmosphere at the speed of several tens of kilometers per second,
Friction and heat from compressed air cause the surface to burn in an instant.

In other words, the light we see is not a "stone-burning flame."
It is an ultra-high temperature plasma phenomenon caused by collisions with the atmosphere.

The light of the moment is short, but it contains the time and history of the universe.
The shooting star you saw one day, has been floating for hundreds of millions of years
He may be the one who lit up the earth's sky at the last minute.
