    Meteors aren’t generally aimed, so barring obstacles in its path, they’ll hit just about anywhere.

    I’m sure there’s some higher or lower odds based on hemisphere and latitude and the typical trajectories of meteors before they get to the planet, as well as relative density of the atmosphere… but that’s going to affect general areas, not specific ones. Whether or not you’re moving and at what speed (unless it’s fast enough to move between continents or something 🤪) won’t matter as much.

    Mind you, that’s based entirely on assumption and no actual fact. I’m sure a person with actual accredited smarts would be able to dispute it effectively.
