Small meteors hit the Earth every minute of each day. Larger meteors, big enough to be visible, hit the Earth several times each hour. In a "meteor shower", you may see over a hundred meteors an hour.
Big meteors, big enough to hit the Earth, happen a few times every day. There are dozens of meteorite museums all over the country.
Really big meteors, enough to cause a lot of damage, are fairly rare, fortunately. The last REALLY big meteor landed in Siberia, 100 years ago; it caused as much damage as an atomic bomb! Fortunately, very few people lived in Siberia back then.
