Small asteroid hits Earth on January 21, 2024

In the late-night hours of January 21, 2024 – 90 minutes before impact over European skies – NASA said a small asteroid would hit Earth’s atmosphere. And hit it did. The space rock struck on schedule above an area west of Berlin, Germany. The asteroid was only about 1 meter (3 feet) in diameter. It posed no danger to people on the ground. Yet it’s possible the asteroid might have spread small meteorites over the landscape.

NASA says asteroids range from 33feet to 329 miles in diameter.

I believe a 3 feet diameter object is a meteor not an asteroid.

Small asteroid hit Earth above Germany tonight

Is Germany not part of earth?
???

They stated it hit Earth (which includes the atmosphere), and were kind enough to provide a location more specific than the whole planet: Germany.

How the heck did you get thinking they're implying Germany isn't on Earth?

I was commenting on the headline. Not the article itself.
