yes! besides light, meteorites and other small particles from outr space reach earth quite frequently

Particles and Objects from the outer space strikes the Earth all the time. It is estimated that more than 100 tons of material from outer space land on the Earth everyday. By far the majority of this material is comprised of little tiny bits of interplanetary dust that are smaller than grains of sand.

Other kinds of things hit Earth too, from subatomic particles (neutrinos and cosmic rays), to large pieces of rock and metal called meteorites. Long ago in Earth's history, very large impactors have struck as well; and billions of years ago, at least one protoplanet thousands of miles wide struck our planet. Many Scientists belive that this event caused the formation of our Moon.

What can be seen from out of space?

In outer space, you can see the Earth, as well as planets, moons, the sun, and other stars, without being hindered by the Earth's atmosphere. It is much clearer, and having the Hubble space telescope in Earth orbit allows it to see much more than any optical telescope could ever see on the Earth's surface.

How much force does a person in outer space exert on earth if the earth exerts 850 N on the weightless person?

The person in space exerts a force of 850 N on the earth. The fact that the person is weightless has no bearing on this question. Ever since Newton enunciated his three laws of motion we have known that action and reaction are equal and opposite. If the earth pulls him with 850 N, then he pulls the earth with 850 n.
