The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the Swift–Tuttle comet. The meteors are called the Perseids because the point from which they appear to originate lies in the constellation Perseus.
In many places the Perseids are easily visible to the naked eye.
Most of the meteors are small and burn up when they hit the Earth's atmosphere.
