How do you expect a meteor shower?

Meteor "showers" happen when the Earth passes through the orbit of a comet, or where a comet once was. Most of the meteors are dust-sized, and when a comet approaches the Sun, the Sun's heat and light melt some of its ice and blow the dust and vapor into the "tail" of the comet.But the dust continues along in the same orbit as the comet; just a little slower.The ancient comet's orbit passes near the Earth at one spot along the Earth's orbit, and the Earth goes through pretty much the same path each year. So meteor "showers" happen on the same day each year.

Where should I look to spot comet 46P in the night sky?

Well, we do need to just have a happy little moment to think about where to see that comet. You know, to spot comet 46P, it's best to look towards the northeastern sky this time of year, using a pair of binoculars or a small telescope to help locate it. Just find a quiet spot under the stars and let the beauty of the universe guide you. Happy comet-hunting, my friend.
