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 is the meteor shower and eclipse happening after dec 21 2010?

Meteor showers and eclipses happen, if not all the time, frequently: there are approximately two solar and two lunar eclipses per year, and there are meteor showers about once a month, though some of them are more prominent than others. They have essentially nothing to do with each other; your question implies that there's some connection, which is not the case, so I'm not sure what you were really trying to ask.


How often is there a meteorite shower?

Each meteor shower occurs around the same time each year. There are meteor showers (some very strong, some very weak) almost every week. Meteor showers occur 24 hours a day somewhere on Earth as space debris breaks up as it falls through the atmosphere. There are a number of regular debris fields that the Earth travels through in its orbit around the Sun. These massive meteor showers are given names such as the "Perseids " meteor shower which has been observed every year for over two thousand years. Meteor showers like this are mostly harmless, but on rare occasions the debris has been big enough to survive travelling through the atmosphere and has caused damage to property. In fact meteors that have landed on Earth are very valuable as a source of information about the origin of the universe and are much sought after by scientists.


What are the persids and the lyrids?

They are annual meteor showers whose radiants originated in these two constellations. The meteors are caused by debris from two periodic comets whose path intersects Earth's orbit.

What time will the December 13 2009 meteor shower occur?

Meteor showers aren't like a bus or airliner; they don't arrive on a schedule. The Gemenid meteor shower started a couple of days ago, and will continue for two or three more days, but the pre-dawn hours of December 14 (your local time) are probably your best opportunity.


When will a meteor shower and a full solar eclipse happen at the same time is it real?

Meteor showers and solar eclipses are two separate celestial events that do not occur simultaneously. Meteor showers happen when Earth passes through the debris left behind by a comet, resulting in shooting stars in the sky. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking out the Sun's light. It is not physically possible for these two events to happen at the same time.

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.
