Best Answer

Meteors can have more than one origin. They might be produced by collisions in the asteroid belt, they can also be fragments of comets, released when the comet is close to the sun and its ice is melting, or they could just be cosmic debris left over from the cloud of gas and dust from which the solar system originally condensed; it is not impossible that some meteors have even entered the solar system from interstellar space.
