What is a Meteor Shower?

When a meteoroid enters Earth’s atmosphere, it generates a flash of light. This happens when High temperatures caused by friction between the meteoroid and gasses in the Earth’s atmosphere heats the meteoroid to the point where it starts glowing. The streak of light is the trail of the burning hot air, or sometimes glowing material, which the meteoroid leaves in its wake.

Meteors generally glow for a very short period of time. If a meteoroid does not fully disintegrate while passing through Earth’s atmosphere and hits the ground, it is known as a Meteor.
