Probably not, but that would depend on the sizes of the meteoroids. Technically, meteoroids refers to fairly small-ish space rocks, up to perhaps 100 feet in diameter. Bigger than that, one would talk about asteroids rather than meteoroids. To make the entire Earth uninhabitable, it would take rocks a few MILES in diameter.

The typical meteoroid is the size of a grain of rice or smaller, and the Earth hits tens of thousands of them per day. A meteoroid the size of a Baseball is relatively rare; a few per week, perhaps.

Where did meteoroids originate?

Meteoroids primarily originate from two sources: asteroids and comets. Most meteoroids are fragments of asteroids, particularly from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. Comets, when they approach the Sun, shed debris that can also become meteoroids. Additionally, some meteoroids can originate from the Moon or Mars, where impacts have ejected material into space.
