Meteors, also known as "shooting stars," are not exclusive to Earth; they originate from various sources in space, such as comets and asteroids, and can enter the atmospheres of other celestial bodies as well. However, Earth's atmosphere is where we commonly observe them because our planet is in a constant motion through the solar system, crossing paths with debris. When this debris enters Earth's atmosphere, it burns up due to friction, creating the visible streak of light we call a meteor. Other planets have atmospheres too, but their conditions and the frequency of debris interactions vary.
Meteors do not orbit the Sun. Meteors are small particles that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up as they frictionally interact with the air. They come from the debris left behind by comets or asteroids orbiting the Sun.
The moon has no atmosphere, so there is nothing there to burn up the dust and dirt and ice and rocks, turning them into meteors, as happens on Earth. Meteors seen on Earth are so brief and fast and enclosed by the atmosphere, and so far from the Moon that you would not see Earth's meteors from the Moon.The moon has no atmosphere, so there is nothing there to burn up the dust and dirt and ice and rocks, turning them into meteors, as happens on Earth.

No, meteors are not extinct. Meteors are commonly seen in the Earth's atmosphere as shooting stars when they burn up upon entry. They are remnants of debris from space that enter the Earth's atmosphere.
Most meteors burn up in the Earth's atmosphere due to friction from air resistance, creating a bright streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. Only very large meteors, called meteoroids, have a chance of reaching the Earth's surface after surviving the intense heat and pressure during entry.
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.
No, meteors do not come from deep inside the Earth. Meteors are space rocks that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction, creating streaks of light in the sky. Some meteors that survive and land on Earth's surface are known as meteorites.
Meteors mostly come from comets. I mean "meteors" not meteorites. Meteors are the things that burn up as they streak across the sky. They aren't the things that land on Earth.
We live here on the Earth, and we're limited in the matter that we can study to things that are here on Earth. Aside from 600 pounds of moon rocks, meteors are the only things that have come from space that we can study. So we study them a LOT, to get some idea of what kind of matter is out there.

No, Earth has some craters, but not as many because Earth has an atmosphere to destroy or smallen meteors, but the moon does not, so it is hit by meteors more3 often.

Yes, meteors do fall very quickly to Earth.
Meteors travels through earth. While the meteors travel towards the earth they go around the orbit.
93 million miles (they only exist in the Earth's atmosphere).
they come from clouds through precipitation but some people think that water came on earth when the meteors hit earth at the beginning of time and released water
Meteors originate in the mesosphere, which is the third layer of the Earth's atmosphere located between the stratosphere and the thermosphere. This layer is where most meteors burn up upon entering the atmosphere due to the friction with the air molecules.
because with out it meteors would hit Earth because the mesosphere kills the meteors.
