Rains stars are solid particles from space always related debris left by comets approach the Sun are larger than an atom but much smaller than asteroids burn up in Earth's atmosphere and are called meteoroids. Some manage to survive passage through Earth's atmosphere and if they reach the Earth's surface are called meteorites.
This phenomenon occurs when the Earth's orbit crosses the remains of particles left to pass the orbit of a comet. At certain times of year, these shooting stars appear to increase in number and exit a specific region called radiant sky, and associated with a constellation which gives the name and we call this meteor shower (Perseids, Orionids, Leonids, Geminids, etc.).
