Meteors!
A meteor.
when the sun burns, it heats up it sorroundings, that how we get heat, its energy hit earths layers.
Nothing burns up craters before they hit earth.

Yes, Venus has been hit by meteoroids, but its thick atmosphere burns up most smaller meteoroids before they reach the surface. The impact craters observed on Venus are thought to have been caused by larger asteroids or comets colliding with the planet's surface.
a meteor that hit Earth without burning up in the mesosphere is called meteoroid
Meteoroids are small chunks of rocks and debris in space that travel through Earth's atmosphere and hit its surface.
Well considering you would probably hit the earths core before you reached china, im guessing a while Well considering you would probably hit the earths core before you reached china, im guessing a while
Can comets hit the Earth's surface? Yes but they would have to be above a certain size so as not to burn up high in our atmosphere. You shouldn't worry though ...
The Sun's rays can hit Earth's surface at a right angle to the surface, depending on the season, anywhere between the tropics (i.e., between 23.5 degrees north and 23.5 degrees south), at noon, when the Sun is highest in the sky.
Yes, the mesosphere helps protect Earth's surface from most meteoroids by burning them up upon entry, due to the high temperatures generated by their rapid descent through the atmosphere. This process results in the meteoroids disintegrating before reaching the surface, reducing the likelihood of impacts.
Yes, they do. Just this week (January 18, 2010) a meteor crashed through the roof of a doctor's office in Virginia and landed on the floor of the examining room. Granted, MOST meteors burn up in the atmosphere and don't survive the passage. But some do.
