Astronomy:List of largest meteorites on Earth

Short description: none

This is a list of largest meteorites on Earth. Size can be assessed by the largest fragment of a given meteorite or the total amount of material coming from the same meteorite fall: often a single meteoroid during atmospheric entry tends to fragment into more pieces.

The table lists the largest meteorites found on the Earth's surface.
