Meteors

First of all, meteor is short for meteoroid, which means something since a meteor is a relatively small particle of crap floating in the solar system. Once it hits you on the head it's called a meteorite. It's better to get hit on the head by a meteorite than an asteroid because the latter would certainly smash you. That is probably a better way to die because if an asteroid hits Earth it's mass extinction and you'll die of hunger or thirst or something more painful. Sometimes meteors are so small they breakup completely in the atmosphere, so a beautiful dust called meteoric dust falls on you, and that's like being sprinkled by pixie dust which I'm sure is just fine (and probably lucky). In conclusion, of all space things meteors aren't as interesting as you thought when you were a kid, unless they're a badass psychobilly band.
