More than 100,000 meteorites fall to Earth every day. Providing the exact number is all but impossible, as most meteorites have the size of a grain of salt and very few -- if any -- are more than a couple of centimeters/inches of diameter. This means most of them are barely noticeable.
However, some extrapolations can be made: if every day 100,000 meteorites fall to Earth, for the sake of simplicity, we could infer that all of them fall homogeneously to the ground. With that in mind, Mexico represents approximately 1% of the planet's surface, so every day 1,000 meteorites would fall through Mexico's air space. This means in turn, that some 365,000 meteorites fall to Mexico every year.
