MeteorItes typically orbit the sun like the Earth does. These orbits are at very high speeds. Occasionally, asteroids in the asteroid belt collide and cause them to head towards the inner solar system. Occasionally, these asteroids will enter Earth's gravitational field and eventually plummet towards the surface. Because these meteorites are traveling so quickly, and because Earth's atmosphere is oxygen-rich, the meteorite will ignite. Usually, this fire will normally consume the meteorite and it will "burn up" in the atmosphere. Only large meteorites would be able to make it all the way to the planet's surface.
