    Meteor showers are caused by larger asteroids coming into the earths atmosphere and burning up into multiple pieces.

    Meteor showers are caused by large rocks(located in space) that fall to the Earth. Once they reach the atmosphere, they burn and break into small pieces.

    Meteor showers are caused by rocks in space that fall towards earth, and in the atmosphere they break and burn into pieces.
