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.

Which two planets are most of the meteor showers in?
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.
When can you see shooting stars?
Look on the internet for "meteor showers" and you will find dates and what part of the sky to watch.
When are the next falling stars due?
"Falling Stars" can happen at ANY time; including right now. There are several "meteor showers", which do happen on regular dates. They are named for the constellation from which they appear to originate. Meteor showers occur whenever the Earth passes through, or near, the path of an old comet. It is likely that the meteors we see are ancient comet dust striking the Earth. The next is apparently the Lyrids, on April 20.
Does a meteor shower happen when a meteor passes through the orbit of a comet?
A meteor shower happens when the Earth passes through a debris field of a comet's orbit or other similar celestial debris that may or may not have a regular cycle of occurrence. The term meteor shower refers to an unusual number of meteors visible per minute in the night sky as shooting stars. When you see a shooting star, you are actually seeing a meteor burn up in the outer reaches of our atmosphere. If you see 3 or more shooting stars (meteors burning up) per minute in the night sky, you are in a meteor shower. Most the time it is difficult to tell if you are in a meteor shower because of the low count per hour versus the count per minute. You can got to the web site for the American Meteor Society for listing and dates of various meteor showers.
If you see a meteor shower in Georgia will someone else see the same meteors all the way in Washington state?
They won't see the same meteor as you do, but they will see a meteor shower, as they are falling in many parts of the world. So they will see ones that you don't, but both of you will be able to enjoy watching a meteor shower.
What do people do whenever they see meteor showers?
They make a wish.
Meteor showers on other planets?
there are no meteor showers on other planets because they are out in space but you can still see them from other planets. There are meteor showers on other planets, but we haven't officially documented any yet. The Mars rovers have detected a few meteor streaks on Mars. Meteor showers are just trails from decaying comets that intersect Earth's orbit, so there would logically be trails that intersect other planet's orbits.

How does a meteor shower occur?
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.
Is there any galaxie nebulae meteor showers etc in the star Altair?

Are meteors really true?
Yes, meteors are true. You can see them. If you go out on any dark clear night you have to chance to see them, especially when there are meteor showers.
When do meteor showers appear?
They appear when Earth passes through a dirty part of space, usually through the trail left by a comet. There are particular times of year as we orbit the Sun that we pass through these areas of space. The Perseid Meteor Shower occurs in August, for example. The Leonids occur in November. They usually have a peak night, but you will see meteors on other nights around the peak. Some meteor showers are better than others and factors like weather and what phase the Moon is at will influence how much you can see and how bright some of the meteors will appear to be. Check the link below for a list of meteor showers and when the happen.
What constellation will be out at night on November 4 in the Northern hemisphere?
You can see all the usual ones, plus meteor and meteorite showers this week and again in December.
Can you see the moon on the east coast and the west coast at the same time?
The moon can be seen from the east coast and the west coast at the same time but not always.
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.
Why are west coast mirrors called west coast mirrors?
Because big mirrors were needed to see around corners for the winding highways along the Pacific Ocean on the "West Coast" of America.
