Meteor Stream

Definition

A meteor stream refers to a region in space where a high concentration of meteors is present. These meteors are usually remnants of comets disintegrating as they orbit the sun. When Earth's orbit intersects with a meteor stream, it leads to meteor showers as the small particles burn up in our atmosphere, creating a stunning celestial display.
