Question

What are meteor showers?

Answer 1

A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories. Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth's surface. Intense or unusual meteor showers are known as meteor outbursts and meteor storms, which may produce greater than 1000 meteors an hour. The Meteor Data Centre lists over 900 suspected meteor showers of which about 100 are well established. Several organizations point to viewing opportunities on the Internet.

A NUMBER OF METEORS That APPEAR TO RADIATE FROM ONE POINT IN SKY At A PARTICULAR DATE EACH YEAR,DUE TO THE EARTH PASSING THROUGH THEM REGULARLY AT THAT POINT ON IT'S ORBIT.
