In the morning, we are on Earth's "front side", considering its movement around the Sun. Since Earth moves at a speed of about 30 km/second, the chance is greater of hitting a meteorite on the "front side".
On any night, it is potentially possible to see a meteor. A meteor shower is when there is a much larger amount of meteors to be seen. The term "shower" can be a bit misleading, as it is not the case that loads of meteors can be seen all at once and over a long period of time. In a meteor shower, you might only see a few if you stood outside for even as long as an hour. Meteors don't make any noise and happen very quickly, so there could be one passing behind you and you wouldn't even know. You often just have to be lucky enough to be looking in the right place at the right time. Even then, they happen so quickly, that your are not even certain that you did see it. For each meteor shower, there is always a recommended direction to face to give yourself a better chance of seeing more. Sometimes the best thing to do is to lie down and look up, as you will see more of the sky then. Some meteor showers are better than others, in that there are more to be seen. It is also better if you are in a very dark location, away from city lights. A night when there is no moon is good too. The other big factor is the weather. Meteor showers don't just occur on one night. There are usually nights when most are expected, known as the peak, but for days and even weeks before or after this, there is an increased chance of seeing a meteor compared to an ordinary night, so look out on those nights too. It takes time and patience, but it is rewarded when you see a good meteor.
yes. they are usually repeated an hour before it was previewed the last night so say if it was viewed at 9:00 Friday night on Saturday it would be at 8:00
A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories. Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth's surface. Intense or unusual meteor showers are known as meteor outbursts and meteor storms, which may produce greater than 1,000 meteors an hour.[1]The Meteor Data Center lists about 600 suspected meteor showers of which about 100 are well established.[2]
The night temperature depends upon the season of the year. In the winter the temperature is usually in the 30s and 40s F at night but can drop much lover at times. In the summer the temperature at night is usually in the 60s and 70s F at night.
i think that astronauts usually get about six hours of sleep every night when they are in space.
They traced the meteor bright as it moved along in the dismal night.
showers
Perseids, associated with debris from comet Swift-Tuttle, peaking sometime on August 12 but likely visible a night before and a night after.
I looked up at the night sky and saw a bright meteor streaking across, leaving a trail of light behind.
When a meteor shower is in progress, it's visible from the entire night side of the earth. Search "meteor shower" on line for the dates of meteor showers expected in the near future.
Of course they can. Usually cheating guys claim to forget what happened the night before.
The correct spelling is meteorite (a meteor that reaches the ground).

The peak is on the 12th of August, but you will see them on the nights for at least a week before and after that, but not as many as on the peak night.
meteor
A meteor is often called a 'shooting star' or 'falling star', after its appearance as a momentary streak of light in the night sky.
If you are on sand island, have the meteor on it, and make it night. Turn one Pigmy into a vampire, and make the sun come up. Before the vampire burns to death, though, you have to make a solar eclipse holding the meteor in front of the sun.
