Answer 1

Keep looking up. Meteor streaks happen every day and night. There are times when we can see more than normal like when the earth's orbit crosses the path where a comet once passed. Those times are called Meteor Showers.

Answer 2

Meteor showers are always best viewed when your part of the Earth is traveling into the path of meteoroids. Regardless of what shower it is or what time of the year, the time between 12am and 6am will present good viewing. If you want prime viewing with the most visible meteors per hour, then you would find the hours of 2am to 4am best.
