Meteor Shower need some tips

I’m making an intro for my brother and I’ve got a lot of it covered except 3 things. A realistic meteor so the smoke i can’t seem to get maybe someone could tell me the settings on the smoke.(this is the main problem) The next is the meteor hits a 3d model island i built and it needs to explode, but i can’t get a realistic explosion from it. Last i need his channel name to come out of the water and by come out float up to the surface i think i should just animate it, but i think it will look fake and maybe blender has some kind of tool to help me. Any advice would be appreciated thank you

You are asking for a lot in a single post.

Break it down into multiple posts and you will get more detailed responses.

1.) How do I create a realistic smoke trail for a missile of meteor?

2.) How can I create a realistic explosion? (Is there a realistic way to make a whole island explode? Or do you want a big fire ball with debris and then no Island?)

3.) How can I simulate an object floating on water?

4.) How can I simulate an object rising or falling through a dense volume?

Also take some time with google and YouTube. A lot of information can be found there. Even if you do not find the answer you may discover a better question that could lead to an answer here.

Do not be afraid to try something out. If you think it may look fake try it and then you will know.
