Answer:

  • A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky.
  • A meteor shower occurs when the Earth passes through the trail of debris left by a comet or asteroid. 2. Meteors are bits of rocks and ice ejected from comets as they move in their orbits about the sun.
  • Because meteor shower particles are all traveling in parallel paths and at the same velocity, they will appear to an observer below to radiate away from a single point in the sky.
  • When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors. When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it's called a meteorite.
  • However, because some parts of the comet's path are richer in debris than others, the strength of a meteor shower may vary from one year to the next. Typically a meteor shower will be strongest when the earth crosses the comet's path shortly after the parent comet has passed.

Answer:

-A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky.

-A meteor shower occurs when the earth passes through the trail of debris left by a comet or asteroid.

-because it only move into one straight direction

-Meteoroids are outside space and is smaller than asteroids.

-Meteorites are also called shooting stars because they burn up in the atmosphere.

Meteors are a rocky or metallic body that hits the surface of the earth instead of burning up in the atmosphere.

-Meteor showers occur when the earth in its orbit around the Sun passes through debris left over from the disintegration of comets.
