Answer:

Meteor showers occur only when the Earth's orbit intersects that of a specific comet, and those intersections occur at fixed intervals. ... Keep in mind that it is very rare for the orbit of any body in space to intersect the orbit of the Earth.

  • Shower meteors come from the dust released by comets as they travel through our solar system. The dust spreads out along the comet's orbit and forms an elliptical trail of debris that passes around the sun and crosses the orbits of the planets. ... This is why meteor showers are predictable annual events.
