What does METEOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small piece of rock or dust from space that burns up as a streak of light when it enters the Earth's atmosphere.
A meteor forms when a small body called a meteoroid enters the atmosphere at high speed, and friction with the air heats it until it glows, producing the bright streak often called a shooting star. Most meteors burn away completely before reaching the ground; a fragment that survives and lands is called a meteorite instead. On a clear night away from city lights, dozens of meteors can be seen crossing the sky during an annual meteor shower.
