No. Thousands of meteors hit the earth every year. In a typical year there are between 18,000 and 80,000 meteorites of 10 grams or more, which strike earth.

What makes the world end?
meteor or any other natural disaster
Will the Earth end if a giant meteor hits earth?
No. Earth has suffered many large asteroid collisions before and is still going strong. The main effects if it is large enough - and it has to be very large - would be on Life, due to sharp but temporary climate-change caused by the resulting dust in the atmosphere.
When will we die?
We may never know when life on Earth will cease. Many people thought that the world was going to end in 2012, and scientist believed that the meteor that passed by in Utah on November 2009, was part of the Leonid Meteor Shower and expected that by 2014 there might have been a meteor shower with meteor's big as football fields going to hit earth. However, this did not come to pass.Christian Answer:Really, God, is the only one who knows, not even anyone in Heaven knows when Earth will meet their doomsday, but ONLY GOD! We will never know when we'll die God knows and to tell you the truth I'm kinda scared but as long as you're a follower of Christ you will go to heaven and stay in heaven will die when Jesus comes to earth and takes all of us to heaven. Actually, we go to Heaven if we believe in Christ and have in in our life.
What happens to the earth when the sun doesn't exist?
it will be the end of the world
What year will the lyrid meteor shower appear?
There are tiny dust-sized particles in Earth's path around the Sun. These particles are usually leftovers from asteroids or comets.When Earth passes through these particles, they burn up in our atmosphere producing bright lines. This is called a meteor shower.. . .a group of meteors that have an orbit that intersects the orbit of Earth, resulting in a large number of meteors entering the atmosphere in a relatively short span of time. Said another way. . .Meteor showers typically come about due to temporarily high concentrations of sun-orbiting debris that crosses the orbital path of Earth and, hence, collide with her atmosphere.While there are no "comet groups", comets being invariably solitary, debris cast off from a comet during its close approach to the sun can participate as "meteoric" space junk that encounters Earth during a meteor shower. Meteor showers tend to arise from old comets that have broken up and spread out along the comet's orbit. A meteor shower happens when the Earth's orbit intersects one of these old comets' orbits. That is why the same shower happens around the same date each year, and the meteors in that shower all appear from the same 'radiant point'.
Scientists when is the world ending?
The scientific community has no way of knowing when the world will end. They do feel that it is just a matter of time before a large meteor hits the earth and we will go the way of the dinosaurs.
What can cause a meteor?
Severe damage to our planet, or even the end of the world, depending on how big or where it hits.
If the earth is traveling at a speed of 64000 mph and a meteor the same size moving at the same speed collides with earth will you be thrown off?
That depends on where you are on the Earth and where the meteor hits. ________________ Wherever you are on earth, if an object the size of the earth collided directly with us (at that size it would be a rogue planet, I think, rather than a meteor) then certainly all life on earth would come to an end, and likely within minutes.
How will world end in 2012?

Will the world come to an end in 2012 as by strike of meteoroids?
That is always a possibility. Scientists are working on a missle that can blow up a larger meteor before it hits. Not sure how that's going.
