ASTEROID FLYBY: During the early morning hours of Monday, July 3rd, asteroid 2004 XP14 will fly past Earth barely farther away than the Moon. XP14 is large enough (600 meters wide) and bright enough (11th magnitude) to see through backyard telescopes as it races across the star-fields of the Milky Way. There's no danger of a collision, just a nice photo-op for amateur astronomers.

It's not big enough and it won't hit so the asteroid would not be able to do anything to the Earth.

Only if it crashed the ocean, but if it crashed into land then maybe just earthquakes

Yes, if it was to hit Earth, but its trayectory is very far away from us, so NO, Nothing will happen.

Only if it hits us, which it won't, so, no. To see it you'd need to hunt for it, so it won't even make the papers.
