When can you see shooting stars?
You can see shooting stars during meteor showers, which occur when the Earth passes through the debris left by a comet. The best time to see shooting stars is late at night when the sky is darkest and free from city lights.
When we see a meteor showerit means that?
When we see a meteor shower, it means that Earth is passing through a stream of debris left behind by a comet or asteroid. As these small particles enter the Earth's atmosphere at high speeds, they burn up and create bright streaks of light, known as meteors. Meteor showers typically occur at specific times of the year when Earth intersects these debris trails. Prominent meteor showers, like the Perseids or Geminids, can produce many visible meteors per hour under optimal conditions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
When can you see shooting stars?

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.
