A Symbolic Way Of An Explanation...!!
Because it is pretty. They shoot out across the sky.
i think its because how fast they move
They appear to shoot across the sky and look a bit like stars (as they are about the same brightness)
cus they shoot
Just a name
idk good quesiton, ill have 2 ask my science teacher that lol, b back in a day!!
cuz they move across the sky as fast as a bullet.
because they LOOK like stars and they LOOK like they're shooting. you moon people are so literal!
although they're not really stars and they're not really shooting, they look like stars from earth and i guess the best way to describe how they're moving would be shooting. and how many people are going to look up at the sky and say, "oh look! a falling meteor!"
Why do they call grape nuts "grape nuts" when there are no grapes and there are no nuts? Why do we park in a drive way and drive on a park way? How does the posytraction rear end of a plymoth work? It just does.
they shoot and they are stars
Because when the meteorites enter our atmosphere and are burned up, they shine brightly like stars racing across the sky.
Because they shoot across the night sky!
I like the term better than calling falling comets
because they are stars that shoot
Because what they're not telling us is that it's really someone shooting things trying to blow things up. I know what you're thinking... 'In outter space?' Damn straight in outer space.
