There again 2019 is just the same answer as 2012 it could happen but there is a low chance, however this will happen most likely 1 day but I doubt quiet yet anyway (I hope) We don't even know if massive comments like this exist yet whatever killed the dinosaurs might not of been 1, shooting stars might just be a little rock really bright though.
No... Technically a meteor will never hit earth, and there has never been a meteor to hit the earth. A "meteor"by definition is the incandescent light phenomenon only. This is produced by extreme pressures exerted on the meteoroid body as it enters Earth's atmosphere at tens of thousands of MPH. A meteor is only incandescent for a few seconds of brief flight until it blinks out and enters what science calls "dark flight". Then it continues to fall at terminal velocity until impacting the ground, at which point it's called a meteorite.
The theory of plate tectonics explains that Earth's lithosphere is divided into large plates that move and interact with each other. Millions of years ago, these plates were once all connected as one supercontinent called Pangaea. As the plates moved and shifted over time, Pangaea broke apart, leading to the formation of the continents we see today.
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago and began to break apart around 175 million years ago, eventually leading to the formation of the continents we see today. The name Pangaea means "all Earth" in Greek, and the concept of this ancient supercontinent is supported by geological evidence such as fossil similarities and matching mountain ranges on different continents.
When a meteorite hits a planet, it can create a crater, eject debris into the surrounding area, and potentially cause seismic activity. Additionally, the impact can generate heat that can melt surrounding rock and create impact melt rocks.
Many people may have difficulty seeing a meteor shower because they occur late at night when visibility is poor, light pollution from city lights can obscure the view, and weather conditions may not be optimal for viewing. Additionally, some meteor showers are faint and may require patience and a dark sky to be fully appreciated.
No country is directly in the middle of the earth. The center of the earth is made up of molten iron and nickel about 6,400 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface.
A meteor hit the Earth in the Ural mountains of Russia, near the city of Chelyabinsk, in February 2013.
The ones that hit the earth are called meteorites.
It is called a meteorite.
Meteor. Meteorites are the ones that do hit Earth.
No, because that meteor already hit the earth.
Once it hits the Earth, we call the pieces "meteorites".

The moon was not significantly affected when the meteor hit Earth. The impact did not have any direct effects on the moon's orbit or composition.
Dinosaurs were extinct due to a meteor that hit the earth.
