so supposedly this meteor shower comes by ever 33 years. so does that mean the universe is a giant sphere like earth?


you skipped a couple steps

planet
solar system
galaxy
universe

the meteors probably orbit around our sun in an irregular pattern that meets up with us every so often

The comet itself passes by every 33 years or so, but we still go through the leftover meteors on a yearly basis.

This year's activity results mainly from the Earth passing through trails of dust emitted by Comet Tempel-Tuttle in the years 1466 and 1533.
