Falling "stars" are not really stars. They are usually quite
small particles which burn up when they pass through the
upper atmosphere of earth. The flashes you see are
evidence of this. Read more about falling stars at
space.com, an excellent site for info on astronomy.
Also Astronomy magazine is a great source of information
for the nonprofessional.
Outer space is where "falling stars" come from. They
are usually softball size or smaller. When they are
pulled in by the earth's gravity, they heat up because
of the friction or "drag" created by the upper atmosphere.
In space, they were very cold, but this friction makes
them heat up and flash.
If a real star were to "fall" to earth, it would destroy our
planet long before it touched the upper atmosphere.

Falling stars aren't really stars, but meteors, chunks of rock or ice that fly through the heavens. When one comes too close to the earth, it gets snagged by the earth's atmosphere. When that happens, friction from the atmosphere heats it up so much that it glows. The glow is what you see, as it slows down and falls to the earth.
Most meteors burn up completely in the atmosphere and never reach the ground. Those that do are called meteorites.

Because their fans don't love them anymore.
There is a very beautiful Tagalog song "ang entabladong minsan ay sa akin."
Oh, if only I could soothe the hearts of those fallen stars.

there are large rocks revolving around the sun. then as they revolve, they accidentally bump to our atmosphere. then because of tremendous gravitational pull, they 'fall' and they burn gradually so they make a bright light.
that's why they are the so-called 'fallings stars', which is really meteorites!!!

You won't call it falling star if its not falling, right?
Floating star if it's float.
Falling star if it's fall.
Rising star if it's rise from below.
Get it?
