It's less of of a "where" and more of a "when". There are meteor showers through the year and you stand a good chance of seeing them, providing it is clear, dark and, ideally, a new moon. The most famous are probably the Perseids which occur in mid-August.
Specks of dust and sand from space enter earth's atmosphere and burn up.
These specks of dust and sand generally came from the tails of comets and thus the earth encounters them periodically as it crosses the orbit of the comet that ejected them.
As the Earth makes its orbit around the sun, at various times it passes through dirtier parts of space. Normally it is because Earth is passing through the remnants of a tail of a comet. As we pass through that part of space, some of the dust and dirt gets into our atmosphere and it burns up and we see a meteor. You could see a meteor on any night of the year, as there is always dirt in space, but during a meteor shower such as the Leonids, or Perseids or Orionids and others, there is an increased amount, so the likelihood of seeing meteors increases. As our orbit of the sun takes the same path around the sun each year, we pass through these dirtier areas at the same time every year, which is how we know when a meteor shower occurs. There are many showers during the year but some of the best ones are the Quadrantids in early January, the Lyrids in late April, the Perseids in mid-August, the the Orionids in much of October, the Leonids in mid November and the Geminids in mid December.
All the showers get their names from the constellations visible in the part of the sky from where the meteors seem to come from, although there is no connection between the constellation and the meteor shower. So for example, the Perseids seem to come from the area where Perseus is and the Leonids seem to come from the area where Leo is.
The location of the meteor shower can vary from time to time, but it mostly takes place in either the troposphere or the stratosphere.
Stem showers haver theirs cons and pros, but if you know how to use appropriately they are better than regular showers. Because the stem will get rid of the dirt more effectivly than just worm water.
Here is a list: · *Sunny · *Partly Cloudy · *Mostly Cloudy · *Rainy · * Mostly Cloudy with a chance of Thunder · *Snow Storm · *Scattered Showers · *Thunder Storms
A meteor. If any of it survives the fall through the atmosphere and makes it to Earth, that part is a meteorite.
Even though "showers" are indeed rain, there's a difference between the two as far as weather forecasts go. When meteorologists call for "Rain," it is a more widespread event. Most of the area will see rain and it'll last for a while. "Showers" are scattered, not everyone will be getting wet at the same time. It could be raining in the suburbs, but dry in the city. Plus, showers tend to be much shorter in duration -- anywhere from a minute to an hour.
The West Coast can indeed see meteor showers in areas where there is little or no light. However, this is very rare due to the countability that meteor showers occur rarely.
We believe that most meteor showers are caused by decaying comets shedding dust and rocks in their wake as they travel through the solar system.
Earth's movement through cometry dust is the main reason for meteor showers.
The Leonid meteor shower, often just called the Leonids, occur in November of every 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.

On Earth meteor showers occur when we pass through dirt in space, usually from the debris or remains of a comet's tail. Any planet that passes through a dirty part of space and then has that dirt burn out above it will be a place that you can see meteor showers.
Meteor showers occur when a meteor comes too close to the earth and gets drawn in by the earth's gravity. The light you see trailing behind the meteor (shooting star) is Ice melting off of it from the sun's heat.
There are several known meteor showers that occur more-or-less regularly during the year. They occur when the Earth passes through the dust trail left behind by a comet. I've linked an article from Sky & Telescope Magazine listing the expected 2011 meteor showers. The first is the Quadrantid, on January 4.
Meteor showers are not man made
There are yearly meteor showers, in relation to taurus.

No. Meteorologists study weather. An astronomer would predict meteor showers.
