The Leonids are famous because their meteor showers, or storms, can be among the most spectacular. Because of the storm of 1833 and the developments in scientific thought of the time (see for example the identification of Halley's Comet), the Leonids have had a major effect on the scientific study of meteors, which had previously been thought to be atmospheric phenomena.
The Orionid meteor shower is caused by Halley's Comet, which takes 76 years to orbit the sun and was last seen in 1986. Each time Halley's Comet returns to the inner solar system, it sheds ice and ...

From that word comes the modern term meteorology, the study of clouds and weather.
