Is 25,406 feet per second as fast as a Meteor?
It's about one-fifth as fast as a Meteor
The speed of a Meteor is about 140,000 feet per second.
(formally Meteoroid or meteorite, depending on the context; a.k.a. "shooting star", a.k.a. "falling star")
Small meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere at speeds between 36,000 feet per second and 240,000 feet per second, depending on their size. The fireball effect, known as ablation, ceases once the atmosphere has slowed the meteoroid to a velocity of about 9,100 feet per second.
