The Perseid meteors are associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. As the comet comes close to the sun, it starts to melt, and it leaves a trail of rocks and other debris behind. As the Earth passes through this trail, there is increased meteor activity as the rocks left behind by the comet hit the atmosphere. Links can be found below.
