The chances of seeing a meteorite are very low, as they are small fragments of meteoroids that survive the intense heat of entering Earth's atmosphere and actually make it to the ground. However, you may see a meteor (a bright streak of light in the sky) more commonly during a meteor shower event.
No. Meteorite showers make colored lines in the sky as they burn up in the atmosphere. You can see them with the naked eye but it is easier if you are far away from cities so the sky is darker.
A meteorite that originates from Mars.
A meteor is what we see in the sky. If it does not completely burn up in the atmosphere and reaches Earth it becomes known as a meteorite. So only meteories actually land on the ground.
A meteorite that contains a significant amount of iron.

A good place to look for a meteorite is in dry lake beds or deserts as they provide open spaces for meteorites to be easily spotted. Additionally, areas with little vegetation or human activity are ideal for meteorite hunting. Joining local rockhounding clubs or attending meteorite hunting expeditions can also increase your chances of finding a meteorite.

There is some speculation that a meteorite may have brought down TWA Flight 800, though this has not been confirmed. An NTSB report estimates that the chances of a meteorite penetrating the hull of a domestic aircraft over the U.S. are once every 59,000-77,000 years. The full report can be found here: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~chance/teaching_aids/books_articles/Cassidy.pdf
No. A meteorite is a rock.
"A meteroid that hits earth's atmosphere becomes a meteor. When it comes to rest on the earth's surface it is then known as a meteorite."Actually, the portion of a meteor that hits the surface of the earth is called a meteorite. A meteor is the steak of light we see acrss the sky, which can be part of a comet, a meteoroid, an asteroid, or any other interplanetary debris we may see from earth. However, a meteor is the larger part that can be seen, but not the actual portion that hits the earth. (Source: Astonomy Today, 6th edition by Chassion & McMillan)
