"Persistence of vision" is why we see motion pictures as "motion" pictures instead of what they really are; a sequence of still images that changes thirty times a second.
yes, when entering our atmosphere there is friction on the meteor causing it to burn up therefore it looks like it has a tail.
Comets have tails as they consist mainly of ices, which vapourise when the comet approaches the sun, taking some of the dust off with it. Meteoroids are mainly made of rock, their surfaces tend to stay intact, so they don't have tails.
It is a shower of meteors.
No, comets and meteors are not considered to be small planets. Comets are simply considered to be comets, and meteors are simply considered to be meteors. (Meteors are asteroids that have entered the atmosphere.)
Meteors do not explore. Rocks from space can not explore, only living beings can.
Most meteors aren't bright enough to be visible in daylight, or even in bright moonlight. But there are a few seriously large meteors each year which are visible in daylight.
Meteors.

Meteors are not that important, meteorites might be.

mail me with the size of the meteors
No. New meteors arrive every day.
Yes, meteors exist now.

CometsComets are objects composed mostly of ice and dust that grow tails when they approach the sun. Planets are made out of iron, rock, and pretty much everything in the periodic table.You could say meteors are concentrates of the iron, rock, and other stuff. When they hit planets they give it that concentrate that they carry.=)that made me sound like a geek

This can vary a lot between different meteors; the main classification, if I remember correctly, is between "ice meteors" that are made up mainly of ice, and "rock meteors", out of rocky materials.
Meteors do not just disappear. Meteors either land somewhere on Earth out of site or they just burn up in the atmosphere.
