it does a lot of damage.
If a meteoroid does not burn up in Earth's atmosphere, it can reach the Earth's surface and become a meteorite. The size and composition of the meteoroid will determine its impact and potential damage. Meteorites that reach the surface can provide valuable scientific information about the solar system's origins.
