Each year, the Earth is hit by an average of more than 6,000 meteors, most of which break up as they break into the atmosphere.
However, in some cases, they can almost form ground, causing extensive damage in the process, such as the Chelyabinsk meteorite.
In 2013, a 20-meter meteorite exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, shattering windows and injuring more than 1,000 people.
Another such incident occurred in Russia in 1901 when a small planet exploded over Tanguska in Siberia, destroying woodland at a distance of 80,000 miles after being discovered by experts.
The eruption was so powerful that it was equivalent to 30 megatons of TNT at an altitude of 10 to 15 kilometers (6.2 to 9.3 miles).
