A meteorite crash refers to an event where a meteorite—rocky or metallic material from space—collides with the surface of a planet or celestial body, such as Earth. This impact occurs when the meteorite survives its passage through the atmosphere and strikes the ground, resulting in a localized release of energy. The size and speed of the meteorite, along with its composition, determine the scale of the crash and its potential effects, which can range from creating impact craters to causing significant ecological disturbances. Meteorite crashes can provide valuable scientific information about the solar system’s history and the composition of other celestial bodies.
