[单项选择]Contrary to popular belief, "falling stars" are not stars at all, but are meteors, solid bodies that travel throng space.
Meteor, ranging in size from that of a pinhead, to many tons, are visible to the naked eye at night, when the friction between the surfaces of the meteors and of the air, produces heat as the meteors enter the earth’s
atmosphere. The intense heat burns up the meteors, which leave a blazing trail of light in their wake.
Most meteors do burn up when they enter the earth’s atmosphere, with the exception of the large mete- ors, which are dragged through the earth’s atmosphere by the earth’s gravitational pull. After successful landings upon the earth, these huge bodies are renamed meteorites. Some scientists theorize that thousands of meteors fall to the earth during the daytime and the nighttime, but this theory is impossible to prove or to disprove, as most would necessarily land in water, which covers most of the earth’s surface.
Generally speaking
A. Because they are large stars.
B. Because most of them are burned up, giving a brilliant display of light.
C. Because they are close enough to be seen.
D. Because they like the moon can reflect the light of some stars.
