Antarctica has the most meteorites due to its icy surface that preserves them well. Scientists regularly find meteorites there, making it a hotspot for meteorite discoveries.
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.
There are four syllables in the word meteorites. Me-te-or-ites.
Location is the difference.Meteoroid is in spaceMeteor has entered the earths atmosphere and can possibly be seen by it's fire/smoke trailMeteorite- has reached the surface of the earth intact.
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.
Many thousands of them, possibly millions, fall every day.

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.

There are 3 main classifications of meteorites; Stony-iron meteorites, Iron meteorites and Stony meteorites. Stony-iron meteorites are mainly composed of meteoric iron which can be also found in Iron meteorites, Iron meteorites commonly contains iron nickel alloy and the Stony meteorites are the meteorites consists of silicate.
Iron meteorites, stony meteorites and stony-iron meteorites.
Iron meteorites, stony meteorites and stony-iron meteorites.
The two main types of meteorites that hit Earth are stony meteorites and iron meteorites. Stony meteorites are composed mainly of silicate minerals, while iron meteorites are composed mainly of metallic iron-nickel.
The exact number of meteorites that hit Neptune is unknown. It is very unlikely that any do, since Neptune is so far out in the Solar System. Still, at least a few hundred meteorites must hit Neptune each year. -Professor Zayle Heartow
