Question

Which countries will be able to see perseid meteor shower next august??

Answer 1

Most countries will be able to see it, but it is best seen from the northern hemisphere because the meteors appear to radiate from the constellation Perseus, which is a northern constellation. However, it's still possible to see meteors when the radiant point is below the horizon, so even people in the far southern hemisphere should see some meteors.

Answer 2

The Perseid meteor shower, called such because it seems to come from the constellation Perseus, can be seen anywhere in the northern hemisphere.

Happy sky watching!

Answer 3

During the Perseid meteor shower earth will pass through the tail and comet dust of Swift-Tuttle, which favors a northern hemisphere view over a significant period of time.  It only seems to emanate from the constellation Perseid (from which it takes its name).
