About 6100 meteors hit the Earth each year. There have been several large meteors in the hectometers during the million years. The rate of nitrogen and oxygen leaving the atmosphere is negligible. Hence there is more mass on Earth today than what there used to be.

Yeah, and the mass accreted by meteors is also negligible you dumb fuck.
