Meteors hit this planet every day. Most of them are too small to notice; but even a meteor of the size of a sandkorn can give a spectacular sight at night (the "shooting stars").
Larger meteors can be catastrophic; in 1908 a meteor hit Siberia, causing an explosion comparable to an H-bomb. 65 million years ago a larger meteor hit Earth, causing the demise of the dinosaurs.
