33. Why doesn't Kansas get hit by meteors? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

People in Kansas will see meteor showers, and meteors in the sky, just as often as people anywhere else. Larger meteors—those that survive their passages through the Earth's atmosphere and become meteorites—are just as likely to arrive in Kansas as anywhere else on the Earth's surface.
