Where do they get these teachers from? My G..
Firstly, the most likely scenario from a meteor is a regional disaster. there was one in 1908 in Siberia which would have caused mayhem if it had exploded over a city. But the reality is that urban areas represent only a fraction of Earth's surface. Also, these type meteors are reckoned to strike only every 1000 years or so, and most of earth is not populated.
Secondly, nothing short of a body the size of Mars (6000 km diameter) will destroy the planet Earth, and there is nothing around like that that will come near Earth.
A 10 km diameter asteroid would cause exitinctions, as one did 65 million years ago with the dinosaurs and thousands of other species. But these are 100 million years apart.
The atmosphere is what we should worry about, but that only represents a millionth of the size of Earth. The Earth itself will not end til the sun goes Nova in several billion years
Ask your teacher where he/she gets the facts from.
And most of all, remember that teachers know the subjects they teach, but outside that, they are as ignorant as everybody else. So, don't take anything a teacher says outside their subjects as gospel, and be ready to get facts and argue.

There is no known, realistic threat to the existence of the Earth in the next thousand years. Meteors hit the Earth every day with no ill effects. There are no large meteors or asteroids known to be on a collision course with Earth in the next thousand years.
It is possible that the Earth could collide with a currently unknown comet. A big one hits every few tens of millions of years, and this is destructive of life, but none has yet wiped out all life on Earth, over a period of at least four billion years.
Don't believe everything your teacher says without question.

No, it won't be a meteorite. There will be small green aliens coming on Earth in a bright silver spaceshuttle and they will eat all the people on Earth. Then, being still hungry, they will eat the Earth. And then, having nothing to stay on, they will fall down into space. So there will be nothing left, no aliens, no humans, nothing!
If your teacher really said that, she is even mad or extremely short minded (don't tell her this ;-D)... No SCIENTIFIC magazine would publish such a stupid article.

Our sun will be the end of us (if a meteorite doesn't get to us first) but the sun will eventually expand so large (because of fusion) that the sun will be so close to the earth that all life will die out. Look at mercury and use that as a reference.

Nostradammus predicted it to end sometime around 2050 but you can't believe him... the earth will exist another 5 billion years or so until our sun goes nova.

People have been saying that for at least the last 2000 years. I wouldn't worry about it too much.....
