Yes, space rocks can be very dangerous to earth especially when they are close to us.
Space rocks, such as meteorites, are remnants of the early solar system and can provide insights into the formation of Earth and other planets. Many Earth rocks share similar elemental and mineralogical compositions with these space rocks, indicating a common origin in the solar system's protoplanetary disk. Additionally, some Earth rocks are formed from materials that originated in space, such as during impacts from asteroids or comets. Therefore, studying space rocks helps us understand Earth's geological history and the processes that shaped its formation.
Meteorites.
Comets are the rocks that hit the earth during formation of oceans...

Space rocks will have colided with the earth before Homo-Sapians exsisted so it is, unfortunatly, impossible to calculate. But it's happening all the time ... small ones, that is.
There's nothing special about it; they are just falling rocks. Of course, they are rocks that fall FROM SPACE, and the Earth is just sort of "in the way" as the rocks are falling around the Sun.
meteorites are rocks that hit the earth meteors have not
Rocks from space, known as meteoroids, do strike Earth, but most burn up in our atmosphere, becoming meteors or shooting stars. Larger meteoroids can survive the journey and impact Earth, but the chances of a direct hit on a populated area are extremely low due to Earth's vast surface area and sparse population density.
Rocks that hit the Earth's surface are called meteorites. When a meteoroid (a rock in space) survives its journey through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface, it is referred to as a meteorite.
if you are in a rocket and have a telescope or something, you could watch the earth from space!
