On a similar point... what size would meteorites have to be to have a chance of being found on the moon? Small ones would vapourise, large ones would vapourise a lot of the sirface material... is it possible that any recognisable fragments would survive?

But Mars does have an atmosphere. Its surface air density is about the same as Earth's at a height of 31 km, and far more than the density in the region of Earth's atmosphere where we typically see meteors.
