Meteors, commonly known as"shooting stars," are the streaks of light we see when small pieces of debris from these asteroids or comets enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up at extremely high speeds.
These storms occur when the comet is making its closest approach to the sun. However, astronomers predict that the Leonids will only produce up to around 15 meteors per hour for most years up to 2099 because the Earth is not set to encounter any dense clouds of debris from the comet. Leonid meteors appear to originate, or radiate, from the constellation Leo and are usually bright featuring persistent trains—glowing trails of vaporized rock.
