The best time to view a meteorite shower depends on the specific meteor shower and your location. Generally, it is best to look toward the constellation from which the meteor shower originates. You can check online for specific information about the meteor shower schedule and position in the sky during its peak.
No. Meteorite showers make colored lines in the sky as they burn up in the atmosphere. You can see them with the naked eye but it is easier if you are far away from cities so the sky is darker.
A meteor is what we see in the sky. If it does not completely burn up in the atmosphere and reaches Earth it becomes known as a meteorite. So only meteories actually land on the ground.
There are plenty of them. Look up into the night sky and you may well witness one or two during the night - maybe more.When a meteorite enters the Earths atmosphere it becomes a meteor or shooting star.
Saturn will be visible in the southwest sky from Lima, Ohio after sunset. The best time to see Saturn tonight would be a few hours after sunset when the sky is dark enough for the planet to be easily visible.
The chances of seeing a meteorite are very low, as they are small fragments of meteoroids that survive the intense heat of entering Earth's atmosphere and actually make it to the ground. However, you may see a meteor (a bright streak of light in the sky) more commonly during a meteor shower event.
That meteorite is still glowing red-hot. I hope that streak across the sky was just a meteorite!

A meteoroid is called a meteor when it enters Earth's atmosphere and creates a streak of light in the sky due to the heat generated by friction. If any part of the meteoroid survives the journey and hits the ground, it is then considered a meteorite.
No,, not unless it fell from the sky and hit the battery.
Tonight's sky includes a magnificent triangle formed by the Moon, Jupiter and Venus.
"A meteroid that hits earth's atmosphere becomes a meteor. When it comes to rest on the earth's surface it is then known as a meteorite."Actually, the portion of a meteor that hits the surface of the earth is called a meteorite. A meteor is the steak of light we see acrss the sky, which can be part of a comet, a meteoroid, an asteroid, or any other interplanetary debris we may see from earth. However, a meteor is the larger part that can be seen, but not the actual portion that hits the earth. (Source: Astonomy Today, 6th edition by Chassion & McMillan)
