What Is a Meteor?
6. Different Sizes
Meteors come in a huge range of different sizes. The vast majority are no larger than a grain of rice and these will vaporize shortly after reaching Earth’s atmosphere. These are nothing at all to worry about as they could not possibly do any harm to our planet.

The majority of meteors that do reach the ground are actually very small their small size means that they don’t travel as quickly through the atmosphere and this allows them to survive. Larger meteors that make it to the ground will generally need to be around the size of a basketball or larger to begin with.
