Meteor showers are the increased level of meteoroids striking Earth's atmosphere as the planet passes through belts of higher meteoroid concentration, normally caused by the passage of a larger object such as a comet.
The two main belts that intersect Earth's orbit are:
- the Leonids around November 17 (in the orbit of the comet Temple-Tuttle)
- the Perseids around August 12 (in the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle)
