A meteor shower occurs when Earth collides with particles and small stones from space. The dust grains in the Leonid meteor shower burn up as they enter the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of 250,000 kilometers per hour. This is what we call shooting stars. Every 33 years, there is a chance that a meteor shower will cause at least 1,000 star shots per hour.
