N. Great job on the definitions. It's so rare to see these concepts presented accurately.
- Concur. But, is a meteor the visible path? Or is it the actual piece of rock?
- As defined at the moment the subsequent sentence A meteor striking the Earth seems wrong.
- Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries say it's the rock. Others say the trail. --Eddie 18:59, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
meteor is the path
Meteor is really only the visible path, the light. The own word meteor comes from word meteo (in Greece something like atmosphere or something like that); meteorology is a science about meteors. It was believed meteor is appearence in atmosphere, like lighting or rain.
