Each meteor shower occurs around the same time each year.

There are meteor showers (some very strong, some very weak) almost every week.

Meteor showers occur 24 hours a day somewhere on Earth as space debris breaks up as it falls through the atmosphere.

There are a number of regular debris fields that the Earth travels through in its orbit around the Sun. These massive meteor showers are given names such as the "Perseids " meteor shower which has been observed every year for over two thousand years.

Meteor showers like this are mostly harmless, but on rare occasions the debris has been big enough to survive travelling through the atmosphere and has caused damage to property. In fact meteors that have landed on Earth are very valuable as a source of information about the origin of the universe and are much sought after by scientists.

What is the chances to see a meteorite?

The chances of seeing a meteorite are very low, as they are small fragments of meteoroids that survive the intense heat of entering Earth's atmosphere and actually make it to the ground. However, you may see a meteor (a bright streak of light in the sky) more commonly during a meteor shower event.
