Which meteor shower occurs on the 14th November?

The Leonid meteor shower. However it is not accurate to say it is on the 14th of November. Meteor showers last over the course of a number of days. They are not just on one single night. They can last weeks, except that at the start and end there are very few meteors, whereas around the peak, there are more to be seen. The peak of the Leonids is around the 18th of November, but you would see some on the 14th of November too and for some nights after the 18th of November.


Is meteor another name for shooting star?

Shooting stars are actually objects burning in the Earth's atmosphere.
