Objects are hitting us every day of every minute.
Some objects in outer space that can damage the earth could be the following: Asteroids Sun Particles Rocks from other planets Space bombs Fire Other objects flying around in space
People often refer to asteroids, meteors, and comets as space trash or debris because they are remnants from the formation of the solar system that are no longer part of a larger celestial body. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the sun, meteors are asteroids that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, and comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust as they approach the sun. These objects can be considered "trash" in the sense that they are leftover material floating in space.
No, the International Space Station has not been hit by any asteroids. The station is equipped with shielding and tracking systems to help avoid potential collisions with space debris or asteroids. Additionally, precautions are taken to maneuver the station if a potential threat is detected.
Keeping the Moon in orbit around Earth. Holding objects on the surface of the Earth. Influencing the tides in the oceans. Allowing astronauts to experience weightlessness in space stations or during freefall.
Yes because large asteroids heading for earth are Near Earth Objects and if they were to hit many people can lose their lives.

meteorite
The earth and moon.
Yes. A meteorite is a piece of rock or metal from space that has hit Earth's surface.

It was obviously nowhere near where I live because I did not even know about it! Nowadays, in a typical year, the earth is hit by approx 15000 tonnes of meteoroids, micrometeoroids and other objects from space.

We can only see light from what it's reflected off (planets, objects, the moon, things on Earth), or directly emitted from, such as stars including our sun. Space is a vacuum, and therefore is literally just space, so that space can't be hit by light, and can't reflect it.
A meteorite is an object from space that has hit the surface of earth. Therefore you will find them at the bottom of the troposphere. However, you were probably refering to meteors. Most meteors are visible in the lower themosphere or upper troposphere.
It sounds like shashing
