The mass of a meteorite is the amount of matter it contains. Meteorites range considerably in size, so their mass can vary from almost nothing up to huge. The largest known meteorite is about 60,000 kg.

The vast majority of meteors don't make it to the ground to BECOME meteorites; they become many tons of the dust in the air each day. Of the ones that do survive to hit the ground, most of the ones that are found are between the size of a pea to the size of an orange. Very rarely, bigger ones are found.

The largest meteoroid ever recorded is the Hoba meteorite, which fell in Namibia. Weighing approximately 60 tons, it is primarily composed of iron and nickel. Unlike most meteoroids, Hoba is unique because it remains in its original location and has not been significantly altered by erosion or excavation. It serves as a popular tourist attraction and a significant scientific specimen.
