Meteors are rocks from outer space that fly toward Earth; when they enter Earth's atmosphere at high speeds, they become super hot and produce bright streaks of light, which is why we call them 'shooting stars' even though they are not actually stars.

The Adventures of Leo and Stormy Present - MeteorAdded:
What's today about?
>> Today we're going to learn about shooting stars.
Have you found him yet?
>> Have you found him yet?
>> No.
Have you found him yet?
>> No.
>> Have you found him yet?
>> There, you found me. Happy >> you did it, Leo. You found the bunny.
>> Excuse me, young lady. I'll have you know I am a fully grown adult rabbit, not a bunny.
>> Sorry if we're bothering you. Shock, I just wanted to introduce you to my sister, Stormy.
>> H your sister? You don't look very much alike, Leo. I have 86 brothers and sisters, and we all look alike.
>> Wow, that's a lot of brothers and sisters.
>> Yes, it is. Now, if you'll excuse me, the stars will be falling soon, and I have things to do. Did you say the stars will be falling?
>> They get tired and decide to fly away.
>> Something funny, dog boy. Those aren't stars flying away. Shock.
>> Oh, and I suppose you know what they are.
>> Of course he does. Leo knows everything.
>> No one knows everything, Stormmy. But but I do know what your falling stars really are.
They're called meteors.
>> Oh, they're made of meat.
Is that where hamburgers come from?
>> No, Stormmy. They're rocks that come from outer space. And sometimes these little rocks fly toward Earth. If they get too close, they zoom through the sky very fast. That makes them super hot and they leave a bright streak of light.
For those of us on the ground, it looks like a star. quickly racing across the sky.
>> That's amazing.
>> That's ridiculous. Rocks from outer space. Who ever heard of such thing? You two can stay and watch the stars. I have to bake a carrot cake for two brothers and three sisters that have birthdays this week.
>> I believe you, Leo.
>> Thank you, Stormmy.
Wa!
>> They are amazing.
>> I'd like to believe it's because the stars get tired and fly away, but real stars don't move. Right, Leo?
>> You're so smart, Stormy.
>> Hey, Leo.
>> Yes, Stormmy.
>> I wish they really were made of meat.
I'm hungry.

Hey Christmas.
