A meteor can fall at speeds ranging from 25,000 to 160,000 miles per hour (40,000 to 257,000 kilometers per hour) as it enters the Earth's atmosphere. The speed depends on its size, composition, and angle of entry. Most meteors burn up upon re-entry due to the intense heat generated by friction with the atmosphere, but larger ones may reach the ground as meteorites.
