A meteor shower is a celestial event where numerous meteors, or "shooting stars," streak across the night sky. These meteors are tiny particles from comets or asteroids that burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, creating bright trails of light. Meteor showers occur at specific times of the year when Earth passes through the debris left by these celestial bodies. One of the most famous meteor showers is the Perseid meteor shower, which happens every August. During this event, skywatchers can see dozens of meteors per hour, making it a popular occasion for stargazers. Watching a meteor shower can be a magical experience, connecting us to the vast universe.
