79 Why do meteors in a meteor shower follow paths, as shown in the image below? Meteors in a shower appear to move away from a point called the radiant. The image is in the visible spectrum. a. A larger meteor broke up high in Earth's atmosphere, and meteor showers are meteors radiating outward from that event. b. Meteors appear brighter from the sides, so only those that appear to be radiating from a single point will be easily visible. c. Sunlight can only illuminate the meteors when they are high in the sky, so they appear bright and then dim as they fall toward the viewer. d. The paths are parallel, but the viewer's perspective makes them appear to radiate from a single point. e. The meteors are radiating from a single point in space
