Up. More specifically, they appear to come from the constellation Leo, but the place in the sky that you see them will depend on your location and the exact trajectory of the meteoroid. If you want to see the Leonid meteors, lay back and look up. It may help if your feet are pointed roughly southeast, but this won't make much difference.
The best view of any meteors are between midnight and dawn, when you are looking in the direction of the Earth's movement through the solar system.
Leonids come once a year, so they are periodic.
The comet responsible for the Leonids meteor shower is Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which takes about 33 years to complete one orbit around the sun. When Earth passes through the debris trail left behind by this comet, we experience the annual Leonids meteor shower.
The Leonids meteor shower is named after the constellation Leo, from which the meteors appear to originate. This annual event occurs when Earth passes through the debris left by Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which orbits the Sun approximately every 33 years. As the comet nears the Sun, it sheds particles that enter Earth's atmosphere, creating bright streaks of light in the night sky during the shower. The Leonids are particularly known for their impressive displays, including some years of intense meteor storms.
The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.
