Explanation:

A falling star, also known as a meteor, is a streak of light in the sky caused by a meteoroid entering Earth's atmosphere and burning up. An asteroid is a large rocky body in space, usually much larger than a meteoroid and doesn't typically produce a quick - streaking light like a falling star. A moon is a natural satellite orbiting a planet and has a more stable appearance in the sky. A dwarf planet is a large celestial body, much larger and more massive than what causes a streaking light in the sky like a falling star.
