When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere they are usually traveling around 10-70 kilometers per second. The atmosphere quickly burns up smaller ones and slows larger ones down to around 300 kilometers per hour before they strike the Earth.
Small meteorites hit Earth everyday, but large meteorites hit once a year.
The speed of a meteoroid entering Earth's atmosphere can vary from 10 to 70 kilometers per second.

Yes. In fact, scientists have found meteorites here on Earth that appear to be pieces blasted off the surface of Mars when some much larger object hit it!
Meteorites hit other planets all the time. In fact, earth get hit the least (about twice every millenium).
Do they? I don't believe this is known. I have not been able to find any real estimate for the numbers of meteorites hitting the Moon or the Earth so a comparison is kind of unwarranted.However, I would expect more meteorites to hit the Moon than the Earth *per unit surface area* because the Moon has very little atmosphere. A lot of meteors hit the Earth's atmosphere without ever reaching the Earth's surface because they burn up in the air. The Moon has no such protective covering and so will be hit by all the meteors that head its way.
Meteorites do attack Earth. Meteorites are chunks, usally of planets, that have been split up. While they are travilling towards the sun (gravity) they are sometimes attaracted by our gravity.
Stony and iron meteorites hit earth.
meteorites are rocks that hit the earth meteors have not
Earth is hit by rocks (meteorites) every day.
The ones that hit the earth are called meteorites.
Meteorites
Meteor. Meteorites are the ones that do hit Earth.
Once it hits the Earth, we call the pieces "meteorites".
The Earth is constantly hit by small meteorites simply because space has no friction. Therefore, if a small asteroid were to somehow been flung out of the Asteroid belt (becoming a meteor), and was aim at Earth, chances are that it'll hit.

Fairly high. Meteorites hit the Earth every day, and I am still alive. It is the big meteorites you have to worry about. One of several hundred meters diameter might cause a major devastation.Fairly high. Meteorites hit the Earth every day, and I am still alive. It is the big meteorites you have to worry about.

Iron, stony, or iron/stony
The carbonaceous meteorites represent the mantle of the Earth. Pallesite meteorites are composed of iron and olivine which represents the transition between the core and the mantle.
