Here's why:
* Meteors are small particles of debris that burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, creating a streak of light.
* Meteor showers occur when the Earth passes through a stream of debris left behind by a comet or asteroid. This results in numerous meteors appearing in the sky, often originating from a single point called the radiant.
So, while a single meteor might be bright and impressive, it's the collective effect of many meteors during a shower that fills the night sky with celestial fireworks.
