What is the size range of meteorites?
The diameter of meteorites varies greatly, from the size of a grain of sand to the size of Mars (speculated).

A meteorite is a natural object originating in outer space that survives impact with the Earth's surface. A meteorite's size can range from small to extremely large. Most meteorites come from small astronomical objects called meteoroids, but they are also sometimes produced by impacts of asteroids.
Meteorites are up to 10 meters in diameter. Anything larger is called an asteroid. The "average" depends how you choose to define "average"; most meteorites roughly have the size of a grain of sand - only a tiny percentage has a size of several meters.
The value of meteorites can vary widely depending on factors like rarity, composition, size, and condition. On average, meteorites can range from $0.50 to $1,000 per gram, but some can be worth even more due to their unique characteristics or historical significance. It's best to have meteorites assessed by a professional to determine their specific value.
There is no single answer for this; both earthquakes and meteorites vary wildly in size and strength.
Yes, some meteorites contain diamonds. These diamonds are formed under extreme pressure and temperature conditions during the impact event that creates the meteorite. However, diamonds in meteorites are usually microscopic in size.
Iron meteorites, stony meteorites and stony-iron meteorites.
It has inbuilt sensors which detect all the meteorites approaching the given range.
A meteorite is a small portion of a meteoroid or asteroid. It is a natural, solid object up to 1 meter in size. In South Africa, it is illegal to buy or sell meteorites.
