Oh honey, the Orionid meteor shower typically occurs from late October to early November, peaking around October 21-22. So, whip out your blanket, find a nice spot away from city lights, and get ready for nature's fireworks display in the sky. Just don't expect any Hollywood celebrities to make cameos, it's all about celestial rocks burning up in the atmosphere.

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.

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.
