Here's why:
* Meteors are space debris: They are small pieces of rock or dust that enter Earth's atmosphere. They burn up due to friction with the air, creating the bright streaks we call "shooting stars."
* Earth is where we see them: While meteors can technically occur near other planets, we primarily observe them on Earth because we're here to see them.
So, while meteors can theoretically occur near any planet with an atmosphere, we experience them most commonly on Earth.
