A meteor cannot hit the earth: meteors burn up in the atmosphere. The last meteorite to hit the earth was too insignificant to be named. Astronomers estimate between 36 and 166 meteorites larger than 10grams fall to Earth per million square kilometres each year. Over the whole surface area of Earth, that translates to 18,000to 84,000meteorites bigger than 10grams per year. These are simply too insignificant to merit a name!
