Meteor is also known as shooting stars. 
Meteoroids are made up of rocky substances that roam the galaxy. When a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and starts to burn up, it is called a meteor or a shooting star. Most meteors burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, but some make it to the surface and are known as meteorites. Meteorites help us to understand space. Some meteors are older than Earth and have many particles from various planets, stars, and other solar system members that contain important information about space.

Hence, the correct option is Meteor.
