“Perseid Meteor – The definition”:
Perseid is the dust particles in bean size that radiate above the Earth. Usually, these particles are present at a distance of 80 miles from the Earth surface, which counts to nearly 139 km. The appearance seems to be surreal. During this time of the year, Earth will pass through this surface. The surface mostly is a layer of dust and other related particles which occupy the whole area. It is said to be floating in the atmosphere. It occurs after twilight. The perseid will draw the Moon’s light. So when perseid appears the Moon’s size will also reduce. It may seem to be radiating the same quantity of light. But perseid radiates more intensely. So you will witness the unexpected. It will be a beautiful sight.

So you can see it from August 12 evening to the next day before dawn. Swift and Horace Parnell Tuttle in 1862 first found about the Perseid meteors. Since then, there is a vast amount of people waiting to witness the beauty of this Universe. Though the appearance will reduce after August 13, the meteor will not move away. It will be there till mid-August, but we will not be able to see with our naked eye. During that time, Moon will ultimately be invisible. Of course, nature’s beauty has some mystery to it.
