Meteors can be described as "shooting stars" that streak across the sky in a brief flash of light.
The correct answer to this question is meteors. Meteors are what are commonly known as "shooting stars." They are streaks of light that can be seen in the night sky when a meteoroid, which is a small rocky or metallic object, enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to the friction with the air. When this happens, it creates a brief flash of light that we perceive as a shooting star. So, the correct answer is meteors.
