Do more meteorites hit Earth at the North and South Poles than anywhere else due to their gravitational pull?

No. The pull of gravity is equal throughout the world. The N. and S. poles just affect magnets.

No, Earth's gravity is not any stronger at the poles. Space rocks hit Earth pretty much anywhere and everywhere with equal probability.

No..
Gravity is about the same all around and meteors strike all
over the earth...
They are often easier to spot sitting on top of the white ice..
