will the earth explode by the hit of asteroids?

Answer 1

scientists and astronomers are now saying that a meteor known as Apophis will hit and distroy earth in the year 2036 on April 13.

And it was all over the news.

Answer 2

First, the current estimated probability that Apophis strikes Earth in 2036 is 1 in 50,000. By comparison, there is about a 1 in 7,000 chance you die in an automobile accident this year - if you're that concerned about a premature death, you'd better stay out of automobiles.

Secondly, the asteroid is a little larger than a football field. That's a decent-sized asteroid and would cause significant damage (the impact would be a few times stronger than the Krakatoa eruption), but it would not end life as we know it.

Answer 3

No. There is no asteroid in this solar system big enough to make the whole Earth explode if it hit.

Answer 4

It is very unlikely that an asteroid, even a large one, would completely obliterate the Earth. It would have to be struck with something larger, like a dwarf planet, to actually smash it to pieces. Even at that, it would probably clump back together, and become another planet.

Answer 5

no it would take a full planet sized object to do that. Even a relatively small asteroid hitting earth, however, could cause enough environmental damage to make living on it almost impossible

Answer 6

it depends on how big the astroid is. if it's just the size of a small trailer park, the earth will be fine. if we get hit by a bigger one... say... the size of roseanne barr... then we will be in trouble

Answer 7

No. Considerable damage would occur, but the planet would survive.

Answer 8

i dont think god will be that mean to let that happen
