Experts divulge that there are millions of meteorites in orbit around the Earth, which is also called shooting stars in common language. According to astronomers, meteor events occur annually or at some regular interval. It should be noted that meteorites are broken particles of asteroids that appear to burn due to oxygen and attraction when coming into the Earth’s atmosphere. According to the US space agency NASA, between 100 and 300 tons of space soil and rocks rain on Earth every day, but their size is not much larger than a particle of sand.
