how can i get to see more shooting stars?when,where?how many shooting stars are there every minute in the sky?

Answer 1

Meteors can be seen during meteor showers, of course. Even when there isn't a meteor shower, there can still be random (the scientific name is sporatic) meteors. These sporatic meteors occur once every 10 minutes, on average - that's assuming you have a perfectly dark sky and you have nothing obstructing your view of the sky (no trees, hills, buildings, etc.)

The most well-known recurring meteor shower is the Perseid meteor shower, that happens every year around August 12. The peak number of meteors for that one is 1 per minute, under perfect conditions. If I remember correctly, the Geminid meteor shower around December 13 has about the same number of meteors, but fewer people like to stand outside at night in the middle of (northern hemisphere) winter! There are other meteor showers, too, that aren't as famous.

Every now and again, a regular meteor shower turns into a meteor storm, with tens to hundreds of meteors per minute. The Leonid meteor shower in November is typically nothing to write home about, but every 33 years it turns into a very impressive storm. Unfortunately this happened a few years ago, so we have to wait another 30 years now for it to happen again.

Answer 2

The best view is far away from the lights of metropolitian or city areas, Out in the desert the sky is 10 times more full of stars.

Answer 3

There are many more shooting stars on some nights than on others. The big nights are the ones with "meteor showers", such as the Perseids. On those nights, in a dark place, you might see one per second.

Answer 4

Go ontop of a mountain, probably like 5,000 feet in the air or something. Go and watch the shooting stars until 3:45 a.m. It's awesome, I even saw satellites.

Answer 5

The best night sky is far away from city lights. The farther away you get the more real night sky you see.
What country / state are you in ? Get the parents to take you on a trip to the rural areas.

Answer 6

In addition to getting as far away from city lights as possible, be sure to view AFTER midnight, between midnight and dawn. During that part of the night, you are on the "leading edge" of the earth as it orbits the Sun, so you will see more of the debris swept up by the earth in its orbit.

Answer 7

At the equator, and if at all possible, at sea.
