A meteor is commonly known as a space rock which enters Earth's atmosphere.
Astronomers class a fireball as a "brighter-then-usual" meteor.
The biggest ever meteorite to hit Britain was discovered in 2019 when a crater was discovered 12 miles in from the west coast of Scotland.
The 0.6 mile wide meteorite is believed to have hit Earth 1.2 billion years ago. Evidence of the collision was first discovered in 2008 when chemical residue was discovered on nearby rocks.
