After the sunset in the evening, we see mostly the stars. Not all the lights in the sky that we see are really stars. Of course, we see the moon. Some of the other lights in the sky are planets. Planets revolve (转动) around the sun like earth does.Once in a while someone will see what they call a shooting star.Shooting star looks like a star that is moving quickly across the sky. Some people believe that seeing a shooting star will bring them good luck. Its hard to find shooting star because they disappear fast.The correct name for a shooting star is meteor. Besides very large objects like stars, planets and moons, space has lots of little objects. These can be rocks in space left over from old planets.These objects can even be as small as dust. These objects are called meteorites(陨石). When a meteorite gets close to the earth, it gets pulled towards the earth by gravity. Earth is surrounded by atmosphere. Atmosphere is made up of air and clouds. A meteorite blows up in the earths atmosphere. This makes the short bright moving light in the night sky. A meteorite thus turns into a meteor.（1）At night the sky is filled mostly with _. A . the moonB . the starsC . the planetsD . the sun（2）From the passage, we can know_.
