Meteor Season 2024
Meteor showers occur when Earth passes through debris trails left by comets or asteroids as it orbits the Sun. These particles, often no larger than a grain of sand, burn up upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, creating the streaks of light we see as meteors.
While meteor showers happen annually and can last for several days or weeks, there is a specific window when they are most active.
