Sie ziehen Schweife aus Gas und Staub hinter sich her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Die sandkorngro\u00dfen Staubk\u00f6rner prallen manchmal in die d\u00fcnne Luftschicht ein, die die Erde umgibt \u2013 die sogenannte Atmosph\u00e4re \u2013, wo sie sich sehr schnell erhitzen. W\u00e4hrend die Staubk\u00f6rner vergl\u00fchen, ziehen sie helle Lichtspuren \u00fcber den Nachthimmel. Diese Spuren werden als Meteore bezeichnet und oft als \u2018Sternschnuppen\u2019 oder \u2018fallende Sterne\u2019 bezeichnet.<\/p>\n<p>Wenn ihr den Himmel in einer klaren Nacht lange genug beobachtet, werdet ihr mit Sicherheit eine Sternschnuppe sehen k\u00f6nnen. Zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten im Jahr durchl\u00e4uft die Erde einen Kometenschweif. Dann k\u00f6nnen mitunter 100 Sternschnuppen in einer Stunde beobachtet werden.<\/p>\n<p>Es kommt auch vor, allerdings nur selten, dass ein Meteorregen den ganzen Nachthimmel erhellt. Wer im Jahr 1966 den Meteorregen Leonid gesehen hat, konnte rund 40 Sternschnuppen pro Sekunde bewundern!<\/p>\n<nav class=\"related\" aria-label=\"Verwandte Themen\">\n<h2 class=\"related__heading\">Verwandte Themen<\/h2>\n<div class=\"grid related__grid\">\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"\/de\/stjerneskud\/\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">D\u00e4nisch<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"\/de\/vallende_sterren\/\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Niederl\u00e4ndisch<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"\/de\/sternschnuppen\/\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Deutsch<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"\/de\/stjerneskudd\/\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Norwegisch<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"\/de\/spadajace_gwiazdy\/\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Polnisch<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-item\">\n<article class=\"card focuson agency\"><a class=\"card__link\" href=\"\/de\/fallande_stjaernor\/\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"dimmer\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<header class=\"entry\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Schwedisch<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<p><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/nav>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are several hundred comets that spend most of their lives among the planets of the inner Solar System.
