How many meteorites hit Mexico in 1997?
More than 100,000 meteorites fall to Earth every day. Providing the exact number is all but impossible, as most meteorites have the size of a grain of salt and very few -- if any -- are more than a couple of centimeters/inches of diameter. This means most of them are barely noticeable. However, some extrapolations can be made: if every day 100,000 meteorites fall to Earth, for the sake of simplicity, we could infer that all of them fall homogeneously to the ground. With that in mind, Mexico represents approximately 1% of the planet's surface, so every day 1,000 meteorites would fall through Mexico's air space. This means in turn, that some 365,000 meteorites fall to Mexico every year.
Are diamonds formed in the in thermosphere?
No. Some say that meteorites that fall to earth, which are formed way beyond the thermosphere, have been known to contain diamonds.

Why would meteorites be gathered from a sheet of ice easily?
Meteorites fall to earth in many locations, including Antarctica. In hunting meteorites in Antarctica, which takes place during the summer months when there are no sunsets, the meteorites (composed mostly of iron) retain heat and may, therefore, be located more easily in an ice sheet. However, in some areas the meteorites are mixed with moraine and other rocks, so identifying them can be more difficult. Read more, below.
Is radium found in meteorites?
Radium exist in very small concentrations in some meteorites.
Are all meteorites attracted to magnet?
No, not all meteorites are attracted to magnets. Some meteorites contain iron and nickel, which are magnetic and will be attracted to magnets. However, other meteorites may not contain these elements and will not be attracted to magnets.
Why does rain fall harder in some spots then in others?
Rain will sometimes fall harder in some spots then in others. This means that the cloud above is more dense with water then the other clouds.
Why do some trees lose their leaves earlier than others?
Because some leaves were formed over time.
Some meteorites that fell on Earth have been identified as having come from what other planet?
Mars. Some meteorites, known as Martian meteorites, have been identified as originating from Mars. These meteorites carry unique characteristics that link them to Mars, such as gas trapped within their mineral structures that matches the Martian atmosphere.
Do meteorites have diamonds?
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.
What are some fossils of organisms in some meteorites?
No such thing has ever been found to exist. No fossils have been proven to have been found in meteorites. Some scientists claim that they have found tiny fossils in meteorites from Mars but they can not prove the formations in the rocks aren't naturally occurring.
Why did you start your period early?
All girls are different. Some start puberty earlier than others.
