Yes. Meteor showers are debris - dust and small pebbles - that have been shed by a comet during its thousands or millions of passes through the solar system. It is literally the leftovers of the comet's tail . It extends probably all the way around the comet's orbital path.

When the Earth passes through the comet's path, we are bombarded with these dust, sand and pebble sized rocks, which burn up very prettily as they fall through the atmosphere.

Which meteor show occur at the same time each year?

All meteor showers occur at the same time every year. For example, the Leonids are always in November and the Perseids are always in August. The same applies to all of the other meteor showers. This is because Earth takes the same path on its orbit each year, and so it passes through the same regions in space where the meteor showers happen.All meteor showers occur at the same time every year.

Are Meteor showers Man made?

Meteor showers are not man made


Meteor showers on other planets?

there are no meteor showers on other planets because they are out in space but you can still see them from other planets. There are meteor showers on other planets, but we haven't officially documented any yet. The Mars rovers have detected a few meteor streaks on Mars. Meteor showers are just trails from decaying comets that intersect Earth's orbit, so there would logically be trails that intersect other planet's orbits.
