Yes, meteors are visible in the sky when they enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction with the air, creating a bright streak of light commonly referred to as a "shooting star." This phenomenon can occur at any time, but meteor showers, which are specific times of the year when many meteors can be seen, enhance visibility. The brightness and visibility of a meteor depend on its size and speed.
Visible objects in the sky include the Sun, Moon, stars, planets, satellites, meteors, and the International Space Station (ISS). Telescopes or binoculars can make some objects like planets and clusters of stars easier to see.
Most meteors aren't bright enough to be visible in daylight, or even in bright moonlight. But there are a few seriously large meteors each year which are visible in daylight.
The point from which meteors appear to originate in the night sky is called the radiant. This point marks the direction in the sky from which the meteors appear to be coming during a meteor shower.
Meteors, or "shooting stars," can be seen in the night sky quite frequently, with an average of about 20 meteors per hour during peak meteor showers. Outside of these events, individual meteors can occur at any time, with estimates suggesting that several meteors may be visible each night under clear conditions. However, the visibility of meteors depends on factors like light pollution and atmospheric conditions. Overall, there's a constant stream of meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere, but most go unnoticed.
Celestial bodies seen at night are typically called stars, planets, moons, and sometimes meteors or comets. These objects are visible in the night sky when the sun has set and the sky is dark enough for them to be seen.

Stars are visible in the night sky, but meteors are not always visible. Meteors are small rocks that burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, creating a streak of light known as a shooting star. They are more commonly seen during meteor showers, which occur at specific times of the year.

Comets, while visible in the sky, do not normally fall to Earth. Meteors do fall towards Earth very quickly.
How often are meteors visible in Jamaica? Every night; there are thousands of meteors each day, and they are visible all around the world.
