do u think a comet will hit earth in 2029?

Question

my teacher said there is a comet heading for earth and it will im pact in 2029 is this true or a lie

look at this website and check if thsi is true http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/asteroid_update_041227.html

Answer 1

According to NASA (in 2005, a month after the initial report):
"... an Earth collision in 2029 is still ruled out ... our current risk analysis for 2004 MN4 indicates that no subsequent Earth encounters in the 21st century are of concern."

Answer 2

Not a comet, an asteroid (99942 Apophis).

Initial observations indicated a probability of up to 2.7% that Apophis would strike the Earth in 2029.
Additional observations eliminated the possibility of an impact on Earth or the Moon in 2029.
However there remained a possibility that during the 2029 close encounter with Earth, Apophis would pass through a "gravitational keyhole" (a region in space no more than about 400 meters across) that would set up a future impact on April 13, 2036.
Additional observations of the trajectory of Apophis revealed the "keyhole" would likely be missed.
As of October 19, 2006, the impact probability for April 13, 2036, is estimated at 1 in 45,000. An additional impact date in 2037 has been identified; however, the impact probability for that encounter is 1 in 12.3 million.

Hi dear,
It is very much possible to become a collision of earth in 2029 with a comet i don know the exact name of that comet and u can c the effect of that comet is seeing around you and your environment. It is a possibility of 90% of collision of earth like dinosaurs but something is more important that the effect of the Sun is much higher than a 2.5 billion years before the magnetic power of our Star called Sun is much better then earlier the route of the comet can be transplant by the effect of the gravitational force release by the Sun or by the Jupiter which is much higher in the volume rather than Earth as you have the Hel Bop Comet collision with the Jupiter.
I am declaring one thing which is much important that the Poles are changing its direction towards North West with a slow moving position the effects of the direction of the Pole will take some changes in the Path of that comet which is coming in 2029 the West World will take some heat strokes and East World will bear some cold waves. It is very much possible that Russian, Japaneses and Greenland areas become desert and Australia, Africa and some parts of Asia pacific become very cold then their present situation all are the effects of that comet

Answer 4

A comet is bound to hit the earth anytime, the earth has been bombarded by heavenly bodies ever since its creation in time, with large comets hitting the earth, climactic changes occur, which are detrimental to life (remember the dinosaurs? they are extinct now partly to such an occurrence). Now theoretically, if a comet hits our planet now, it could only mean the wipeout of all human life as we all know it, it is tantamount to the end of the world per bible prophecy, Now the questions is, will it hit us specifically in a specific time, I doubt it, the bible says no one can predict the time of the end of the world, but in revelation, it talks about of God molding and shaping what we know of as the earth to something of a method like kneading and rolling like when the baker makes bread. I'm not an expert in astronomy or whatever quantum science there may be out there, and I cant explain how it will be done, it may be thru a comet hitting our planet or another way, but the bottomline is, our planet will not last for eternity, everything must come to an end, we don't know how it will occur, but it will.

Answer 5

I don't believe it will. The event in 2029 is supposed to be a miss, however the exact location of the object will determine how likely it is to hit us in the following decade, on its return trip back out from the sun. Thus, if we can predict from its precise location in 2029 that it will hit us on its return flight, the passing in 2029 seems like a good time to do "something about it".

No idea what the "something about it" might be.

Answer 6

Your teacher needs to do his/her homework.

There is a small asteroid (named Apothos) which will make a close appproach to Earth in 2029--but will not ht. Seven years later, in 2036, it will again make a close approach to Earth.

The Earth's gravity effect in the first (2029) pass will alter the asteroid's course slightly--but there's no way of predicting exactly how much. So there is a remote chance--about one in a thousand--that it could hit Earth in 2036.

However, the asteroid is small enough we can divert it if it does prove to be dangerous--provided we develop the necessary spacecraft to to the job. We have the basic technology to develop such advanced spacecraft--but to date, NASA does not have funding from Congress to do so.

Answer 7

No, i do no longer. as quickly as a comet is detected, it relatively is comparatively uncomplicated to plot it relatively is orbit. no longer something is in all danger to return even on the fringe of Earth for as a techniques forward as we are able to make certain. that's purely yet another in an extremely long line of doom-weighted down statements that have purely an extremely tenuous connection with fact. additionally, i'm puzzled that a video loosely based in astronomy could be shown in a biology type. Are you specific it wasn't a form of "what if" eventualities after which you communicate what effect one in each of those happening could have on the biosphere?

Answer 8

wicky is an idiot.

First of all, you need to pay better attention in class.

Comet impacts are extremely rare. What your teacher may have been talking about is an asteroid and the fact that he/she is stating that an impact will occur in 2029 makes me queston his knowledge and teaching qualifications. What he/she has stated is simply a lie.

NASA classifies asteroids over 500 feet in diameter as hazardous. There are 448 known hazardous asteroids in near Earth orbit.

An asteroid or meteroid the size of a small garage could potentially wipe out a city. The asteroid which wiped out the dinosaurs was over 6 miles in diameter. An asteroid would need to be at least 1/2 mile in diameter in order to be of a life extinction size.

No near Earth orbiting asteroids 1/2 mile in diameter or larger have been found to date.

You can keep a constant track of known asteroids yourself to ease your worries- and you may wish to send a copy of these websites to your misinformed teacher so he/she stops spreading such fear based lies.

If it still concerns you, you can join a group like Spacewatch and receive their monthly newsletter.

I wouldn't take any more of your teacher's opinions as fact. He/she is obviously misinformed.

Answer 9

2029??
I thought that 2012 was --the-- date (currently)

There are a couple of close approach objects that are supposed to be in the vicinity around 2029, but I haven't heard anybody (with any credibility) say they're going to impact.

Answer 10

No the world will end in 2012.


gnomon- It's called sarcasm. Excuse the hell out of me if I don't want to copy and paste a bunch of facts from websites to make me seem like a know it all bag of wind. I hope throwing insults around gives you that ego boost you so desire! Lmao!
