Meteor showers happen when Earth passes through the debris trails of comets and countless thousands of cosmic dust specks burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
This is why meteor showers are best seen after midnight: meteors don't actually fly at the Earth, rather the Earth sweeps through the debris which become meteors.
