Detailed Solution

Above given statement is true.
Meteors enter the Earth’s atmosphere at a really high speed and get heated up due to friction in the atmosphere. As a result, this small object glows and evaporates quickly, sort of a bright streak for a short time. These bright streaks of sunshine, visible within the night sky, are called meteors. It's also known as shooting stars. When Earth crosses the leftover of a comet, groups of meteors are seen. These meteors fall on Earth in a sort of shower and are known as meteor showers. They occur at regular time intervals annually.
