Most meteor showers are visible all around the world. Meteor showers occur when the Earth passes through the debris stream left behind from a comet; some comet trails are better mapped than others, and in some cases astronomers are able to predict with some accuracy exactly when the Earth will pass through the stream.
Meteors are most commonly observed between midnight and dawn, when the "front" of the Earth passes through.

Can scientists predict a meteor shower?
yes they could.
Will a lunar eclipse and meteor shower ever happen on the same day?
No reason why they could not- they are unrelated events.
What is the connection between comets and meteoroids?
Meteroids could contain debris left by a comet, especially during a meteor shower.
How many meteors in a meteor shower?
There is not a very specific amount of meteors falling from the sky could be more than fifty to tens of thousands!
Can you die because of a meteor shower?
A meteor shower is the appearance in the sky of the trails of multiple meteors.When such a bolide reaches Earth it is known as a meteorite.Certainly, meteorites have struck people - one in Alabama on 30/11/54 weighed in at 4kg. came through the roof, bounced and struck the householder.So if you were unlucky enough, such a strike could be fatal.
What could be in a meteor to give people super powers?
A meteor could have anything in it to give people super powers in movies that is.But if a meteor could give you super powers in real life then it could b anything that was from outer space.

Meteor showers are common in this constellation?
Could be Draco. The meteor showers are called Draconids.
What year will the lyrid meteor shower appear?
There are tiny dust-sized particles in Earth's path around the Sun. These particles are usually leftovers from asteroids or comets.When Earth passes through these particles, they burn up in our atmosphere producing bright lines. This is called a meteor shower.. . .a group of meteors that have an orbit that intersects the orbit of Earth, resulting in a large number of meteors entering the atmosphere in a relatively short span of time. Said another way. . .Meteor showers typically come about due to temporarily high concentrations of sun-orbiting debris that crosses the orbital path of Earth and, hence, collide with her atmosphere.While there are no "comet groups", comets being invariably solitary, debris cast off from a comet during its close approach to the sun can participate as "meteoric" space junk that encounters Earth during a meteor shower. Meteor showers tend to arise from old comets that have broken up and spread out along the comet's orbit. A meteor shower happens when the Earth's orbit intersects one of these old comets' orbits. That is why the same shower happens around the same date each year, and the meteors in that shower all appear from the same 'radiant point'.
Will a meteor kill everyone on earth?
It could, but its not likely.
What do you get for Garchomp trest you?
He could learn Draco Meteor.
