Here's why:

* Meteors are small pieces of rock or debris that enter the Earth's atmosphere. They can range in size from dust particles to small boulders, but they are typically very small compared to the Moon.

* The Moon is a large natural satellite that orbits the Earth. It has a diameter of about 3,474 kilometers (2,159 miles), making it significantly larger than any known meteor.

To give you a better idea of the difference in size, imagine a basketball (the Moon) next to a grain of sand (a meteor).
