"But the surprising truth is that Earth is constantly being hit by space debris. Roughly 48.5 tons of meteoric material falls toward Earth every day, but 95% of it burns up in our atmosphere. Much of this cosmic dust is too small to even see, measuring less than a millimeter in size, but thousands of tons of it land on the surface of our planet every year and it's not just this space dust that's hitting Earth's surface on a regular basis. There's actually a surprising amount of other space debris that makes it to our planet, and some of it poses a real threat."
