== == If a giant meteoroid hit earth humans would not live any more or animals earth will die.
a meteor that hit Earth without burning up in the mesosphere is called meteoroid
No. 37,000 to 38,000 tons of matter hit the earth each year. We're pretty much being bombarded constantly.
A "meteor shower". (The individual space rocks pulverize or vaporize when they hit Earth's atmosphere.)
Some get by asteroids others (like Earth) hit hit with a meteoroid and the rock that fly out into space form together to make a moon
Meteors are the streaks of light that occur when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to friction. Meteoroids are small rocks or particles in space that may become meteors if they enter Earth's atmosphere.
Cause of the 8.9 earthquake. SAD!

impossible to say as all evidence of it has been eroded andmeteoroids have been hitting the earth before its creation when it was just fragments of rocks. 177
A rock from space that strikes Earth's surface is called a meteorite. When a meteoroid (a small rocky or metallic body) enters Earth's atmosphere and survives the journey to impact the surface, it is termed a meteorite.
Rocks that hit the Earth's surface are called meteorites. When a meteoroid (a rock in space) survives its journey through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface, it is referred to as a meteorite.
Its Not The 12th Its Actually The 21st. Well A Meteoroid Will Hit The Earth And Will Kill ALMOST Every Human. And It Will Create A New Ice Age And Mammoths Will Come Back. BUT Anyone Who Survived In That Meteoroid Hit Will Be Attacked By The Mammoths. On December,21,2012. ITS COMING UP!!!
