The source of meteor showers is debris which is constantly moving around in space. As it enters the atmosphere, it is quickly burnt up and very little actually makes it to the ground.
Yes. There are several meteor 'showers' every year.
Yes, people living on the West Coast of the United States can see meteor showers, as long as the skies are clear and the meteor shower is visible from that location. Meteor showers occur at different times throughout the year and can be visible from various parts of the world.
While I cannot attest to a particular date, there is scientific basis for scientists predicting meteor showers. Meteors are small bits of rock and/or metal burning up in Earth's atmosphere. Meteor showers occur when Earth's orbit brings it through a cloud of such small objects, since scientists know where these clouds are, they can predict meteor showers.
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 Earth passes through a cluster of meteoroids, the meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction, creating meteor showers. These meteor showers are often visible to observers as bright streaks of light in the night sky. The meteoroids are typically small fragments of comets or asteroids.
Meteor showers are not man made
