'Shooting stars' are much more common than you might think, particularly in summer. My best suggestion would be to find an area with little light pollution and to just observe the stars on a clear night. There are certain dates where there are many meteors which seem to radiate from a particular constellation; these are called "meteor showers." Many local news programs routinely announce these, or you can check the link below for a list. _____________________ Because of the way the Earth moves and spins in its orbit around the Sun, times between midnight and sunrise generally bring more visible meteors than the hours between sunset and midnight. That's because the sunrise terminator is the "leading edge" of the Earth, and you see more meteors going forward than when looking backward (in the hours after sunset). Pick one of these common showers, the Perseids are generally good, and find a dark area away from city lights, and lie out on the ground watching the sky. I recommend from about 3AM to sunrise. I can almost guarantee you'll see some.

∙ 13y agoIf you go outside
-- at night
-- on any night
-- when the sky is clear
-- far from city lights
-- let your eyes get accustomed to the dark
-- get comfortable
-- watch the sky for a while
you can usually see one every 20 to 30 minutes. The chances are
always somewhat better after midnight.

∙ 14y agono, shooting stars can come at any time in the year, however it does help if there is no cloud cover for you to be able to see them. however, you can look up times when there will be an asteroid shower somewhere.

Meteors (shooting stars) hit the Earth by the thousands every day.

∙ 14y agoEach shooting star is a unique event. Each such object enters and burns up in the atmosphere only once.
Shooting stars are more correctly known as meteors. They are not stars. They are composed of metal or stone or a combination of both. They are present around the earth in outer space and occasionally run into us and burn up in the atmosphere due to friction because of their high velocity. Sometimes they are big enough to hit the ground before they burn up completely. These are called meteorites.
If instead you were asking how many meteors fall in a given time period, the answer is about 25,000,000 dust or sand grain sized or larger objects a day. Of these, 60 to 200 tons worth strike the surface of the earth, about 25% of that on land.

∙ 14y agoYou can see shooting stars any day of the year. Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes not. Just go outdoors for several nights, and look up at the sky an hour or more every night; you should see one pretty soon.

Why are stars always there at night?
Stars are there day and night. During the day the sun, which is a star, is so bright that you cannot see the other stars. So that is why we only see stars at night. As we orbit the sun we do see different stars throughout the year. So ones that are not visible on a particular day will be visible at night at another time of the year.
