Yes, meteors can travel in groups, typically associated with meteor showers. These showers occur when Earth passes through the debris left by comets or asteroids, causing multiple meteors to enter the atmosphere in a short period. Each meteor shower is usually named after the constellation from which the meteors appear to originate. While individual meteors can be seen at any time, these grouped events are particularly spectacular.

Can meteors get through the atmosphere?

Yes, meteors are objects that enter Earth's atmosphere and can make it through depending on their size and composition. As they travel through the atmosphere, they create a bright streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. Most small meteors burn up completely before reaching the Earth's surface.


What happens to most meteors that enter the mesosphere?

Most meteors that enter the mesosphere burn up due to the intense heat generated by friction with the Earth's atmosphere. As they travel at high speeds, the air resistance causes the meteors to disintegrate, resulting in a bright streak of light known as a meteor or "shooting star." Only a small fraction of meteors survive this passage and reach the Earth's surface as meteorites.


What is a group of meteors?

It is a shower of meteors.


Can sporadic meteors appear from any point in the sky and travel to any direction even upwards?

"Sporadic meteors" can indeed arrive from any direction at any time, unlike meteors in a "meteor shower". A meteor shower arrives from a direction called the radiant, and it if is low in the sky it is possible for a meteor to appear to travel upwards, although in 3D it is always travelling downwards. A useful model is driving in a snow storm. The flakes appear to radiate from a point ahead and just above the horizontal.


Do comets and meteors have anything in common?

Yes they do, they are both rocks from outer-space. They both have a nucleus and they both travel in space. The thing that comets and meteors have in common is that they all travel in space and most of them all have not changed because of their formation in the solar nebula.

Meteors shape of orbit?

Meteors typically have elliptical orbits, similar to comets. Their shape of orbit can vary depending on their origin and the gravitational forces they encounter in the solar system. Some meteors follow stable orbits, while others may have more inclined or eccentric paths.
