Meteoro

Meteoro is a term of Latin origin that can refer to several things, most commonly a meteor. A meteor, often called a "shooting star" or "falling star," is the streak of light seen in the night sky when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to friction. The object itself, the meteoroid, is a small rocky or metallic body traveling through space. If a meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.

In a broader sense, "meteoro" can also refer to a meteorological phenomenon. Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere and its phenomena, including weather and climate. This can encompass a wide range of atmospheric events, such as storms, clouds, rain, snow, and wind patterns.

The term "meteoro" might also appear in specific contexts within science fiction or popular culture, where it could denote an extraterrestrial object, a spacecraft, or a fictional phenomenon. However, its primary and most frequent meaning relates to the celestial event of a meteor.
