Meteors are fragments in the universe, often derived from exploding asteroids. The majority of Earth's meteorites come from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They are often made up of stone, iron and some other substances from outer space.
Scientists found and collected 5-10 pieces of meteorites each year. Most meteorites are burned down in the atmosphere, only a few are large enough to cause collisions. The largest intact meteorite ever discovered was named Boha. It is 2.7 meters long, weighs about 66 tons and is located in Namibia.
