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.

What are the two most prevalent elements on the Jovian or gas planets?
The two most important elements on the Jovian planets are hydrogen and heliumn
Which two planets are most alike?
i don't know hahahaha
4 Why do some of the large moons of the Giant Planets have surfaces full of craters and others are smooth?
Large meteor impacts, although not common by human standards, do occur regularly by astronomical standards and most planets and moons show much cratering. So the question becomes, why don't all moons have lots of craters. It depends partly on what the moon is made of and how close it is to its mother planet. For example, Io, a large moon of Jupiter, is so close to Jupiter than the tidal friction melts the core of the moon and makes it the most active volcanic object in the solar system; the continual volcanic activity makes meteor craters disappear fairly quickly. Europa, similarly affected by tidal forces, is made largely of water and the surface melts and refreezes regularly enough to hide meteor impacts. The larger planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) are gas giants - their surface is gaseous and therefore show no meteor impacts - although they do get hit. Earth does have meteor impact craters; but Earth's atmosphere is very corrosive - the oxygen and water will erode most metals, two thirds of the surface is covered in water and and the effects of life hide most of these.
What are the two inner planets most alike in size?
The Earth and Venus.
Which two planets overlap?
The two planets with overlapping orbits are Neptune and Pluto. These are the only two planets that have overlapping orbits.
Is there any galaxie nebulae meteor showers etc in the constillaiton Gemini?
There are two meteor showers: The Geminids on December 13-14 and the Epsilon Geminids on October 18 - 29. There are two planetary nebulae: The Eskimo and Medusa nebulae. There is an open cluster M35 (NGC 2168).
What is the next year for a solar eclipse and a meteor shower to happen?
Meteor showers occur several times each year, and there will be two or more solar eclipses every year from now through 2020.
When is the next meteor shower Ohio can see in 2009?
Eclipses are visible, generally, only in certain locations. Meteor showers, however, affect the entire planet, and are generally a day or two long. The Perseid meteor shower is happening now, and will continue for a day or two more.
When is the meteor shower and eclipse happening after dec 21 2010?
Meteor showers and eclipses happen, if not all the time, frequently: there are approximately two solar and two lunar eclipses per year, and there are meteor showers about once a month, though some of them are more prominent than others. They have essentially nothing to do with each other; your question implies that there's some connection, which is not the case, so I'm not sure what you were really trying to ask.
How often is there a meteorite shower?
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 are the persids and the lyrids?
They are annual meteor showers whose radiants originated in these two constellations. The meteors are caused by debris from two periodic comets whose path intersects Earth's orbit.
What time will the December 13 2009 meteor shower occur?
Meteor showers aren't like a bus or airliner; they don't arrive on a schedule. The Gemenid meteor shower started a couple of days ago, and will continue for two or three more days, but the pre-dawn hours of December 14 (your local time) are probably your best opportunity.
What are the two most prevalent elements on the Jovian or gas planets?
The two most important elements on the Jovian planets are hydrogen and heliumn
What are the two most cold planets in the solar system?
The two coldest planets are also the two that are furthest from the sun. These are Uranus and Neptune.
What two planets do extrasolar planets most resemble?
So far. Jupiter and Saturn
Which two planets have the most satellites?
Mercury Venus
Which two planets are most alike?
i don't know hahahaha
