No, not a meteor shower. The dinosaurs became extinct after a meteor struck the earth which blocked out the sun and killed much of the vegetataion that the dinosaurs used for food.

Was there ever a meteor shower in 1989 kansas?

There is no record of a meteor shower specifically occurring in Kansas in 1989. However, meteor showers like the Leonids and Perseids are annual events that can be seen worldwide, including in Kansas, during their peak times of activity.


Have you ever lain laid on a country hillside and watched a meteor shower on a warm August evening?

Probably not; you'll see more and brighter meteors in a meteor shower between about 2 AM and dawn. The Earth is going around the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour. The "front" of the Earth is the line of dawn, and the line of sunset is the "back" of the Earth. Look at the bug splats on a car's windshield, and compare those to the bug splats on the BACK window. Lots more on the front, right? The meteors that you see in the evening are the few that were going fast enough to catch up to the Earth from behind. You'll see lots more looking forward, in the pre-dawn sky.


Has earth ever had a meteor strike?

Yes Halley's comet struck Arizona over 63 million years ago and is believed to have caused the extinction of dinosaurs.


Has a meteor destroyed a planet?

No. If you're wondering about the asteroid belt, there was never a planet there in the first place; Jupiter's gravity kept one from ever forming. Meteors, properly speaking, couldn't destroy a planet anyway.


Did a meteor ever crashed planet earth?

Yes, meteorites have collided with Earth in the past, leaving impact craters. One notable example is the Chicxulub crater in Mexico, believed to have been caused by a meteorite impact that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
