What's the difference between a shooting star and a falling star?

A shooting star has nothing to do with a falling star. Falling stars or shooting stars are what meteorites are called. The remaining part of the meteorite is called a meteorite if it survives burning up and hitting the Earth.

Then, which planet we can see from earth with naked eyes?

Only five planets are visible from Earth to the naked-eye; Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The other two- Neptune and Uranus-require a small telescope. What are the two brightest objects in the night sky? Brightest Objects in the Night Sky to Observe: The Moon (seriously bright!) Venus (magnitude -4.3) Jupiter (magnitude -2.2)

And another question, how common is it to see meteor?

Due to the combination of all of these factors, only a handful of witnessed meteorite falls occur Each year. As an order of magnitude estimation, each square kilometer of the earth's surface should collect 1 meteorite fall about once every 50,000 years, on the average. What is the difference between a fireball and meteor? Meteors, or "shooting stars," are the visible paths of meteoroids that have entered the Earth's atmosphere at high velocities. A fireball is an unusually bright meteor that reaches a visual magnitude of -3 or brighter when seen at the observer's zenith. Objects causing fireball events can exceed one meter in size.

What happens when a shooting star hits the ground?

The surface of the small piece of matter can burn up. Before they hit the Earth's surface, very small meteors burn up. The larger meteors that hit the Earth's surface become meteorites.

Are fireballs good luck?

Fireballs aren't very rare. If you watch the sky regularly on dark nights for a few hours at a time, you'll probably see a fireball about twice a year. But daylight fireballs are very rare. If the Sun is up and you see a fireball, mark it down as a lucky sighting.
