A comet consists mostly of ice. An asteroid made ​​stone and metal. Whereas fractions called meteoroids. When a meteoroid enters Earth's athmosphere, they will leave a trail of light that can be seen tailed, this is called a meteor. And sometimes we call shooting stars.


When a meteoroid pounding the earth, they are called meteorites. About 500 small meteorites fall to Earth each year, and most of them will fall into the sea or into areas that are not inhabited. They are very small due to meteoroid broke when it enters the earth's athmosphere, even mostly evaporated or destroyed before it hits the sea or land. A meteorite could be the size of a small stone, but mostly smaller than a pea.

Possibilities for very small meteorite hit. Sometimes animals are exposed and so many claims and reports of people hit by a meteorite. But most of the claims could not be verified. That means, there are no reports of how many people who have been hit by a meteorite.
