It is a figure of speech also in The Bible it says Lucifer was cast down like lightning. I think that was physical. It's known that they crashed somewhere at the 32 degree line in san diego, California.
Answer:
This fall was prior to the creation of man. This is what caused the earth to become a "...shapeless, chaotic mass..." (Gen.1:2 LVB Living Bible).
"...without form, and void..." (same verse KJV).
(LIT Literal Bible): "...without form and empty...".
"without form": [tohuw] "...to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), i.e. desert; figuratively, a worthless thing; adverbially, in vain..." (Strong's Definitions).
"empty": [bohuw] "...a vacuity, i.e. (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin..." (Strong's Definitions).
We can only imagine the effect Satan and his angelic army had on the earth when they crashed down onto it. Jesus says it was "like lightning" [Luke 10:18] -- like FIRE! A "global fire."
We've seen both "CGI" Computer Graphic Imagery in the movies and documentary renditions of meteors and asteroids striking the earth. Plus, we recently witnessed the very real devastation by such in Russia on a small scale.
Satan and his angels were cast down to earth as a result of the "war in heaven" [Rev.12:7] before man was created. Nothing living on the earth at that time survived the impact of that free-falling cosmic Holocaust [speaking of "dinosaurs"] and the total disruption and ruination of planet earth.
Contrary to popular modern evolutionary belief... the dinosaurs didn't die out "gradually"... but quickly -- in HOURS... MINUTES. Swallowed whole by the quaking, shuddering, shattered earth. No time for slow decomposition... but whole herds of them, both plants and animals... swallowed, compressed with some PRESSURE-COOKED alive in the heat of both the earth's core and the raging furnace on the surface of the planet. Thus, do we still find their remains, today; pockets of crude oil fields beneath the surface of the earth around the world.
In the Genesis account... we're told that God created the heaven and earth [the universe] in the beginning. But it doesn't say how much time passed between the original creation of the universe and the time Satan and his angels launched their war from earth, failed in their attempt, and crashed back down onto the earth.
"I will ascend above the heights of the clouds..." (Isa.14:14). Satan was standing on the earth when he first contemplated his coup attempt against God. Clouds are a phenomenon within the earth's atmosphere. But his heart's desire was to "go to heaven"... and BE GOD.
"For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne... I will be like the Most High." (verses 13-14)
In the beginning... God didn't create the earth "a shapeless ruin"... a "wasted vacuity"... "in vain." God doesn't create anything "imperfectly":
"...God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it NOT IN VAIN [God didn't make anything vain; 'empty'; tohuw], He formed it TO BE INHABITED..." (Isa.45:18)
The earth CAME TO BE that way as a result of "the war in heaven" sometime between the time of the beginning and before God made man.
The result was that water covered the earth (verse 2) and put out the fire; cooled things down; evaporation [from the catastrophic global fire]... condensation... precipitation -- the laws of God.
"...And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." (verse 2)
We have no idea what the face of the earth looked like before the "war in heaven." We only have a continuously revealing fossil record that we try to piece together into how we think it might have been. And both anciently and today we use latitude and longitude whereby we can pin-point a location anywhere on earth.
But the world that then was is not the world we know today. The continents may not have existed then, in the beginning, as they do now. Plus... the land masses of the earth that God restored in the subsequent "seven-day creation account" that follows the ruination of the earth, may even have been altered a second time by the "flood" that occurred later in Noah's day.
So, if the resulting utter destruction of the earth in Genesis 2 is any indication... it doesn't really matter WHERE Satan and his angels "fell to earth." They may have been spread out for miles and hit EVERYWHERE. The WHOLE EARTH was destroyed by it. So, it's obvious that the destruction of the impact was in no way "localized" or "limited" to one place.

In the Bible, Satan is a fallen angel, and nowhere in the Bible does it say that angels have family. They are said to merely be beings that are created to serve god. So, if you looked at the Bible for answers, you would find that Lucifer had no mother or siblings. Some people might say that the angels/demons would be somewhat like siblings, because they are all similar and are all creatures of god.
