Yes. There is at least one documented case of a meteor passing through a human. The individual, who remains nameless, was killed when a meteor passed through his chest. Death was instantaneous.

There was a German boy about 2 years ago who was hit in the thumb by a meteor about the size of a pencil eraser. He was only slightly injured.
And a woman lying in bed back in the mid-50's was struck by a rock the size of her fist; she also survived.
Of course, most meteors explode or vaporize passing through the atmosphere; the remains are dust. So if you've ever walked through a cloud of dust, you've probably been hit by a meteor, or at least, by the remains of one.
And there are several unexplained aircraft crashes for which no cause has ever been determined. The chances of an aircraft being destroyed by a meteor are astronomical - however, meteors are themselves "astronomical", and as long as we keep flying and meteors keep falling, eventually a meteor WILL hit an aircraft in flight. It's only a matter of time.
In recorded history, no human has ever been killed by a meteor but there have been a number of cases about people who were nearly struck by it.
One of those few cases-
Ann Hodges, an Alabama housewife, was sleeping on her couch when she was awakened by a 3 pound meteor. It crashed through the roof of her house and bounced off a small piece of furniture. It then hit her in the hip which caused a large bruise. This is said to have happened on November 30, 1954.

Answer: Yes, certainly. The object that struck northern Canada about 15,000 years ago killed off all the humans on North America, including an pre-indian group called the Clovis People. It also caused the "Younger Dryas" mini-ice age, and was probably responsible for the extinction of the mastodons and mammoths.
See related link for a video of a "possible!!" near miss by a meteorite.
It is impossible to know that. It is far away and meteors are tiny, and last for a very short amount of time, just seconds, so it is impossible to see them at that distance. It would not even be known how many hit Earth, so we would not know how many have hit Mercury or the other planets.
Yes, Mercury is covered in craters from the impacts of "meteors". In fact "meteor" isn't quite the right word. Astronomers usually call objects that reach the surface "meteorites".
Meteors have hit the sun but not meteorites. A meteorite is an object that has survived atmosphere entry and landed on the surface. All meteors that hit the sun are vaporized.
If it's as big as you are, then yes, it most certainly can.
Yes. On average there are about 6 confirmed meteorite falls every year.
My cousin Simon was killed by one when he was mud puppy fishing in a stream in the back 40 near Renfrew
Yes, the whole Earth is always, and will always be impacted by objects from space.
Yes, many have
No.
Sadly,yes
No one has ever landed on Mars
NO, just the surface is 20,000 degrees Fahrenheit. it is too hot.
Yes. People have been picked up by the winds of a cyclone and survived.
Hit, but not killed
Chinese people have killed and been killed. China (earthenware) has been used to kill someone. China (the country) has not killed anyone.
Many of them........ *yes*
No they only exist in movies
Yes. But wouldn't you rather know who?
I say NO. If anyone says yes, I say “prove it”

Yes, my second cousin got food poisoning and was very allergic and died!
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, Lady Gaga has never killed anyone.
There has been no documentation to state that anyone has killed their love by giving too much love. There are crimes of passion where one mate may kill another one out of rage and jealousy.
