But what is a meteor shower?
A celestial event during which small rocky or metallic objects called meteors are seen radiantly flowing from the sky is called a meteor shower. The size of most meteors is smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all meteors disintegrate before hitting the Earth’s surface. According to the Meteor Data Centre, over 900 meteor showers are listed and out of those, almost 100 are well established.
