No. The meteors you see in meteor showers are sand to pebble sized objects that burn up long before reaching the ground. Most meteors are too small to reach the surface. Meteorites come from larger meteors that fall individually and often show up brilliantly in the night sky. Some a bright enough to be visible during the day.
What else can I help you with?
How many people died from a meteor shower in the year of 2000?
No one has died as result of a meteor shower.
What happens when asteriods collide?
It would be a spectacular sight, but no one has ever observed it happening. I think if you apply the current definition of planet to the bodies involved, you could demonstrate that if two 'planets' collide then at least one of them is not a planet.
What is the result of a collision with a large object from space is often an impact?
You've definitely got that right ! There's no debating the fact that the result of a collision is often an impact.
Are meteoroids and asteroids the same?
Asteroid: a large rock with its own orbit around the sun; most of them lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. These rarely hit Earth, but it has happened. Meteor: a small piece of rock, ice, or dust that enters earth's atmosphere and quickly burns up as a result of high-speed friction with the gas molecules in our upper atmosphere, creating what is commonly known as a "shooting star." Meteoroid: a small particle of rock, ice, or dust floating around in space that hasn't entered our atmosphere yet. Meteorite: a small particle of rock that enters our atmosphere and has enough mass to survive the atmospheric entry process and actually impacts somewhere on Earth's surface.
Can you get super powers by getting hit by a meteor?
Only If you Say Gullable Really Slowly. Or if you call Aliosn Broadbent
How can you describe astroids?
Asteroids and Meteoroids were created when the universe was created or as a result of a collision.
How many people died from a meteor shower in the year of 2000?
No one has died as result of a meteor shower.
What force allows asteroids to fall from orbit and hit Earth's surface?
The asteroids that strike earth's surface do not fall from orbit. Asteroids have fairly small masses, so their orbits are easily altered by interactions with other objects. Sometimes the orbit of an asteroid is changed such that its orbit intersects Earth's orbit. If the timing works out so that the asteroid reaches the point of interestion at the same time as Earth does, then a collision will result.
What geological features are formed by craters as a result of impact?
Meteor craters.

Of every 3 collision how many result in an injury?

What created the mountains?
Mountains are the result of the collision of tectonic plates.
In Florida immersion in water or fire as a result of a collision happens in less than of all collisions annually?
In Florida, immersion in water or fire as a result of a collision happens in less than?
Mountain ranges did not form as a result of continent collision?
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.
Where would you most likely find?
The largest collection of asteroids is found orbiting the Sun between orbits of Mars and Jupiter, This area is sometimes called the "asteroid belt". Think about it this way: the asteroid belt is a big highway in a circle around the Sun. The asteroids are like cars on the highway, except that they are thousands of miles apart on the average. Even so, sometimes the asteroid cars run into one another. When this happens, the asteroids may break up into smaller asteroids. Scientists think that most asteroids are the result of collisions between larger rocky space bodies. Asteroids can be a few feet to several hundred miles wide. The belt probably contains at least 40,000 asteroids that are more than 0.5 miles across. If an asteroid is disturbed by the gravitational pull of a planet, or is involved in a collision, it can be thrown out of the belt and go into orbit as a moon. Some of Jupiter's many small moons were likely once asteroids.
