Hmm, the meteorite never reaches the core of the Earth. It just happens to explode on contact with the massive crust that's constantly rotating around it. Similarly, that rock would be pulverized by the heat of the Sun before it ever came to a rest at its center. Assuming of course that you could "throw" that rock hard enough to counter our massive rotational velocity.
