Flexi Says: When a meteor shoots through the atmosphere it burns and glows. When we look up and see one, we call it a shooting star. When Earth travels through the debris left by a comet's tail, we see a meteor shower. Some of the shooting stars are fast while others are slow. On average, the speed of a shooting star varies from 11 to 70 km/s. However. in 2006, NASA captures an image of a shooting star named Mira that was traveling at a speed of 130 km/s.
