So, meteors. The most annoying thing in Hardmode, and the most useful in Pre-Hardmode. Once you slam your hammer onto an Orb, usually it instantly says "A meteor has fallen!" Then you have to search your world, in hopes it hasn't landed on your base that you've been making for 16000 years. Once you find it after 3 hours of searching, it is usually in a spot where it is least convenient.
Pretty annoying and BORING, right? I mean, you can't actually see the thing fall from the sky. (For technical reasons, I don't know if it actually falls from the sky or the game just randomly picks a spawn point.)
ACTUAL SUGGESTION:
Anyway, I suggest that once you smash an Orb a timer would appear on your screen for a whole in-game day. Once that timer ends, it would say "A meteor is falling!" and a meteor would spawn in the sky and plummet to the ground. BTW, you would be able to see the meteor crash. Anything living under the meteor will instantly be dead, and the area would be pelted with AT LEAST 100 meteorite blocks, to ensure it turns into a meteor biome.
To ensure it is forced to make 100 meteorite blocks at crash site, the meteor would rip right through a skybridge, making a relatively small hole.
Also, to ensure 100 blocks of meteorite, before it lands, the game will check if there are at least 30 blocks of space vertically, and 50 blocks of space horizontally before the meteor lands, or it would plummet farther into the ground until the requirements are met. So, technically, although very rarely, the meteor can plummet to the Underworld before being stopped by the barrier.
I will try to add stuff to this, as I will make it really in-depth.
