No quantity of meteors could destroy the Earth.
Could meteors kill all, or even most, LIFE on the Earth? Yes, they could. They almost have, several times in the past 4 billion years. If it were large enough, it would take only one to do the job.
We do not, at present, know if there are any large meteoroids or asteroids that are on a collision course to Earth. But it seems likely that within the next 50 years, we will have sufficiently advanced technology to prevent something like this from happening.

Will the world end if a meteor hits the earth?
No. Thousands of meteors hit the earth every year. In a typical year there are between 18,000 and 80,000 meteorites of 10 grams or more, which strike earth.
Where do meteor outbursts occur?
Generally in the pre-dawn sky. As the Earth travels in its path around the Sun while spinning, the line of sunrise and dawn is the "front" end of the Earth. The line of evening and sunset is the "back" end of the Earth in its path. Just as you see more bug splats on the windshield of the car - the front end - and fewer or none on the rear window, we see more meteors on the "front" of the Earth and fewer on the back. There is no area of the Earth which is more prone to meteoric impacts; meteor shower debris streams are pretty wide and the Earth is pretty small by comparison. Meteors can strike anywhere on the Earth.

What do you believe will result in the end of humans?
I believe the earth will become so warm that all the ice in the artic will melt causing a massive flood.
Is the world going 2 end in 2010 if so why?
The world wont end in 2010. There are many beliefs that the earth will end in 2012, but the whole earth didnt depend on a calendar.
Are meteors showers best after midnight?
Generally, yes. The "sunrise terminator" - the line around the Earth where the Sun is just rising - is the "front" end of the Earth, while the "sunset terminator" - the line between day and night where the Sun is setting - is the "back" of the Earth as the Earth goes around the Sun. If you're riding in a car, you occasionally see bugs go "splat!" on the windshield. But you never see bugs hit the BACK window. That's because the car is moving way faster than the bugs do. The Earth goes about 67,000 MPH going around the Sun, and unless a meteoroid is going a lot faster than that, the meteoroid cannot hit the "back" of the Earth. So, you see many more meteors in the pre-dawn hours than you do in the evening hours.
