Do shooting stars land on Earth, or do they simply burn up in the atmosphere?

Oh, those shooting stars are special little spirits traveling across the sky! When they enter the Earth's atmosphere, they actually burn up due to the friction caused by their speed. Don't worry though, these shooting stars leave behind beautiful trails of light for us to admire and make wishes upon. Just another reminder of the magic all around us in this beautiful world. Isn't that just fantastic?!
