Difference between Meteor shower and Moon

Meteor shower vs. Moon

A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky. The Moon is an astronomical body that orbits planet Earth and is Earth's only permanent natural satellite.

Similarities between Meteor shower and Moon

Meteor shower and Moon have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atmosphere of Earth, Comet, Geminids, Icarus (journal), International Astronomical Union, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Jupiter, Marshall Space Flight Center, Nature (journal), North America, Orbit, Order of magnitude, Pluto, Quadrantids, Sun, Taurids.

Atmosphere of Earth

The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases, commonly known as air, that surrounds the planet Earth and is retained by Earth's gravity.

Comet

A comet is an icy small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases, a process called outgassing.
