A meteor is a small celestial body that enters the Earth's atmosphere and vaporizes upon contact, creating a dazzling streak of light across the sky. Commonly referred to as shooting stars, meteors capture our imaginations with their fleeting but breathtaking displays. Meteors can be categorized into different types based on their origin and composition. The most common are sporadic meteors, which occur randomly throughout the year. Meteor showers, on the other hand, are more predictable and occur when the Earth passes through the debris left behind by comets or asteroids. A space custom progress bar for YouTube with Meteor.
