Weather also affects visibility. According to CNN meteorologist Dave Henan, the sky should be clear during the most intense nights in the United States, except for a few storms along the west coast.
The main part of Leonids, the comet Temple-Tuttle, will cross Earth’s orbit, creating the evaporation of debris in the atmosphere. It takes 33 years for a comet to complete one orbit of the Sun.
The meteor shower gets its name from the Leo constellation Leo, as meteors will come from the stars that make up the lion’s mane. But you don’t have to look in the direction of the constellation, because meteors will appear in the sky.
Bright meteors can also be colored, and they are fast, moving at a speed of 44 to 44 miles per second – among the fastest meteors. Fireballs and “Earthgrazer” meteors are also a feature of Leonid Shower. Firebells are brighter and wider and can last longer than the average meteorite, while earthworms appear near the horizon with long, colorful tails.
Unfortunately, this year’s shower will not produce meteor storms, which is the time when you can see over 1000 meteors in an hour. Although such an incident has previously been associated with the Leonid Meteor Shower, the last storm occurred in 2001.
The best time to watch a meteor shower is wherever you are in the world, both in the middle of the morning and in the afternoon. Will last until. Light pollution from cities obstructs the view, so draw in a quiet place with low lights.
