What do you think will hapen to the world and its people when the meteor hits in 2036?

Answer 1

Who really cares? I may be dead from disease or a car crash by then... Until then I will continue to live life to the fullest.

Answer 2

The asteroid you are talking about is about 1000 feet across, if it hits in an unpopulated area, like Siberia or central Australia, it will cause a really big crater, and will cause regional earthquakes, depending on the location of any geological fault lines. If it hits a large city, it will cause devastation to that city and cause regional earthquakes or volcanic activity. If it hits in the ocean it may trigger a tsunami and cause variable devastation, depending on location.
Whatever the damage, it will be devastating, but localised. The worldwide implications will not be catastrophic, since it is not big enough.
The least it could do is miss us, or if it hits, it could land somewhere solid and "safe", like Siberia, or some other unpopulated area. The worst case scenario would be for it to hit a major city surrounded by nuclear reactors, triggering multiple meltdowns and widespread fallout.
The Earth will not explode, it has been hit by larger asteroids in the past.
The chances of it hitting are about 1 in 45000, the chances of it hitting land are 1 in 4, the chances of it hitting a populated city if it hits land, are about 1 in 1000.
So, work out those odds, and you get about 1 in 200 million chance of a worst case scenario, about 1 in 200,000 chance of a safe scenario, if it hits, and about 1 in 60000 of a hit in the ocean.

Considering the odds are overwhelming that it will miss, I would not be too concerned.

Answer 3

First, the chance of the asteroid colliding with earth is 1 in 10,000. If this 1000 ft diameter asteroid did hit earth, there would not be much to do except take measures to ensure the survival of the human race and the information and knowledge it has coalesced. Those who are the most suitable to accomplish this goal would be the first into the safe shelters humans might have to build to escape total annihilation.

Answer 4

The chances of the asteroid hitting the earth in that year is 1 in 45,000
That's a very low chance. However, we have many years to think about a strategy to deflect it. Since these NEO's (near earth objects) are being kept track of, we should know ahead of time whether or not it will hit.

Answer 5

If a large enough meteor hits, the world will become covered in a dark cloud of dust and debris for a thousand years.

Answer 6

There's a 1-in-45,000 chance that this will happen. Don't get too bent out of shape yet.

Answer 7

That's not going to happen but if it does atleast it will reduce the population.

Answer 8

Space, to put it mildly, is rather big. In otherwords, an asteroid hitting is not likely

Answer 9

We'll all perish.

Answer 10

I will poop my pants.
