Material gets ejected from the surface of Mars by a violent event such as a volcano eruption. Some material has enough velocity to escape Martian gravity and floats in space as a meteoroid. By pure chance, it may get close enough to Earth to be captured by Earth's gravity. If it is large enough, it will become a meteorite on Earth which originated from Mars.

How did meteors from Mars arrive on Earth?
Meteors from Mars arrive on Earth when an impact on Mars causes fragments of rocks to be ejected into space. Some of these rocks may eventually cross paths with Earth's orbit and enter our atmosphere as meteorites. Through analysis of the composition and isotopic signatures of these meteorites, scientists can infer that they originated from Mars.
What color does mars appear to be from earth?
Green
Why do meteors appear in showers?
Meteors appear to come in showers. This is because most are born from comets and as the comet travels, it throws off pieces of rock, which then fall toward Earth, similar to the way water falls in the shower.
How are meteor showers named?
They're generally named for the constellation they appear to originate from. For example, the Leonids appear to radiate from a location in the constellation Leo, and the Perseids from a location in the constellation Perseus.
What is gravity on Mars compared to earth?
The gravity on the surface of Mars is approximately one third of that on the surface of Earth. Comment: I always say "about 38%".
Have there been meteors from Mars found on earth?
Yes.

What is the name for the starting point in a meteor shower?
The point that meteors appear to come from is known as a radiant.The point that meteors appear to come from is known as a radiant.The point that meteors appear to come from is known as a radiant.The point that meteors appear to come from is known as a radiant.The point that meteors appear to come from is known as a radiant.The point that meteors appear to come from is known as a radiant.The point that meteors appear to come from is known as a radiant.The point that meteors appear to come from is known as a radiant.The point that meteors appear to come from is known as a radiant.The point that meteors appear to come from is known as a radiant.The point that meteors appear to come from is known as a radiant.

Green
What are the meteors sand meteorites?
meteorites-larger chunks that land on earth's surface are called ''meteorites''meteors-at certain times,we see more meteors than usual and they appear as a ''showers''
How do meteors from Mars arive on Earth?
I think they get caught in the moons gravity and are flung like a slingshot when the moon orbits.

Why does mars appear smaller than the moon when seen from earth?
Mars is tremendously farther away from the Earth than the moon is.
Where don't meteors hit on Mars?
Mars isn't cute enough
Do meteors glow as they collide with earth's atmosphere?
Yes and No, When they are flying down toward earth the are burning in the atmosphere thus making them appear to glow.
Are there craters all over Mars?
Yes, because Mars has a very thin atmosphere. If it had a thicker atmosphere (similar to Earth), most of the meteors would burn up. Since it has a thin atmosphere, most meteors strike the surface. Also there is very little erosion on Mars, so when a meteor hits Mars, the craters lasts for a very long time.
Will mars be close to earth on August 28 2009?
No. That's the "Mars Hoax" that Mars will be close to Earth and appear "as bigas the full moon!". Not even close to being true.
