Where do meteors originate?
According to the NASA, Meteors come from leftover comet particles and bits from asteroids. When these objects come around the sun, they leave a dusty trail behind them. Every year, Earth passes through these debris trails, which allow the bits to collide with our atmosphere, where they disintegrate to create fiery and colourful streaks in the sky.
