Some good people say that "2900-7300 kilograms per year hit Earth". Why
this information is banned from Wikipedia? Secondly, 2013 Russian meteor
"weighed about 10 tons before it entered the Earth's atmosphere"
Am I read right? Is it really a single meteorite weights the mass of all
meteorites per year? How much mass do meteorite loose when burning in
the atmosphere?
Make that Russian one worth 10,000 tonnes.
Annual average influx is perhaps worth 50,000 tonnes (increasing).
Most of the influx comes from items well under 1 kg.
