4.  An astroid is a small rocky object orbiting the sun.

5. Pluto is a dwarf planet.  I think this still makes it a planet as it isn't an astroid, comet or moon. It has a core, Mantle and crust.  It rotates while making revolutions around the sun.  I think we should include all the dwarf planets, they might help us understand the solar system better.

6.  The Perseid Meteor Shower - Your Summer Viewing Guide.

•The Perseid meteor shower can be seen on summer nights in the northern hemisphere, every year.

•A meteor shower happens when a comet comes too close to the sun and produces debris (meteorites).
 •These spread around the comets orbit. Whenever the comets orbit coincides with earth's we see a meteor shower.

•During the peak of the Perseid shower you may see as many as 60 meteors per hour.

•It is best observed on a clear night away from city lights. Even better if you have a telescope, but not necessary.  You can also go to a local observatory
