Answer : Meteor shower

Explanation : When earth runs into the dust trail left behind by a comet that is orbiting the Sun , Earth experiences a meteor shower.

It happen when the earth passes through the optical path of a comet. The comet lift a lot of dust behind and earth lift through the dust.

The dust particles hit the atmosphere, hence, meteor form.
