1 hundred have hit Earth at the right amount because I know
meteorites are rocks that hit the earth meteors have not
it is approximately 10,000-15,000 meteors hit earth every year
Probably there were more meteors at that time. Eventually, many of them coalesced into larger bodies - planets and planetoids.
because with out it meteors would hit Earth because the mesosphere kills the meteors.
No, Earth has some craters, but not as many because Earth has an atmosphere to destroy or smallen meteors, but the moon does not, so it is hit by meteors more3 often.
As a meteors enters the earth's atmosphere, the frictional heat is so intense it begins to catch fire, which is why must meteors burn-up before they hit our planet. Meteors are called meteors until they hit the earth's surface, then they are called meteorites!!
They will hit Earth if, in their orbit around the Sun, they happen to cross Earth's orbit.
Many meteors have hit the earth over the ages. One of the largest in human history is thought to have been in Tunguska, Siberia in 1908
Many, many thousands. Most are very small and burn up in the atmosphere.
There are much less "really large" meteors than small ones. However, Earth has been hit in the past by such meteors, and it is likely that it will be hit again at some moment. For example, about 65 million years ago, a meteor impact resulted in the elimination of dinosaurs (and in fact of many species).
Meteors!
no, notreally. Different meteors have different speed as they are different in sizes.
