Meteor showers are caused by tiny bits of dust or small objects burning up in the atmosphere. Usually they are not dangerous as the item is completely destroyed when it burns up. Sometimes larger objects pass through and some objects reach the surface of Earth. It would take something very large to do any real damage, so a standard meteor shower is not dangerous. They are something to go out and watch and enjoy.

A meteor becomes a meteorite when it hits Earth's surface.
While still in space, we call them meteoroids. As they pass through the atmosphere, the glowing trail is called a "meteor". If they survive and strike the Earth's surface, we call them "meteorites".
A falling star or meteor is a fragment of rock in orbit round the Sun, which happens to be intercepted by the Earth's atmosphere. At some point the Earth's gravity takes over and captures the meteor, and the meteor falls at high speed. Most meteors burn out before reaching the ground.
