Most meteors aren't bright enough to be visible in daylight, or even in bright moonlight. But there are a few seriously large meteors each year which are visible in daylight.

Why do meteorites appear only at night?

Simply, they dont. They are just more visible at night than during daylight hours. Just as the stars are still there in the daytime you cant see them because of the light level of the sun in the atmosphere is greater than that of the stars. We get the same number of meteors in the daytime as we do at night. Many smaller meteors just dont burn bright enough to be visible in the daytime sky. A meteor is in the sky, a meteorite is a meteor that has made it to the Earths surface. See the related link for more details.

What makes meteors visable in space?

Meteors become visible in space when they enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction with the air particles. This process creates a bright streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. Without the atmosphere, meteors would not be visible from space.

Why do more meteors hit the moon than the earth?

More meteors hit the moon than the earth because the moon has no atmosphere to burn up the meteors before impact. Earth's atmosphere acts as a protective barrier, causing most meteors to disintegrate before reaching the surface. The moon's lack of atmosphere means more meteors make it to the surface, leaving more visible impact craters.
