Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Many people gaze up in wonder at the spectacle of a meteor shower, unaware of the fascinating origins behind these celestial events. Contrary to popular belief, these "shooting stars" aren''t stars at all, but rather tiny pieces of debris from comets or asteroids. As these celestial bodies journey around the Sun, they leave a trail of dust and rock fragments in their wake.
When the Earth''s orbit intersects with these debris trails, the particles collide with our atmosphere at high speeds. The friction generated by this collision causes the particles to heat up and vaporize, creating the bright streaks of light we call meteors.
Visibility of meteor showers depends on several factors, including the time of night, light pollution, and the shower''s intensity. While some showers are best viewed after midnight, others might be visible earlier in the evening. Locating a dark sky away from city lights will dramatically increase your chances of seeing more meteors.
Finally, it''s important to remember that meteor showers are completely harmless. The Earth passes through these debris fields regularly, and the vast majority of particles burn up in the atmosphere long before reaching the ground. So, find a comfortable spot, look up, and enjoy the show!
