If a large enough asteroid were to hit Earth, it could potentially cause widespread destruction and even mass extinction. The exact impact would depend on the size and composition of the asteroid, as well as where it hit on the planet.
The chances of a catastrophic asteroid impact on Earth are very low. NASA estimates that there is a 1 in 300,000 chance of a potentially hazardous asteroid hitting Earth in the next 100 years.
Yes, scientists are constantly monitoring the skies for any potentially hazardous asteroids and developing ways to track and predict their paths. If an asteroid were headed towards Earth, there are also potential methods for deflecting or destroying it before impact.
The impact of an asteroid on Earth could cause significant changes in the climate, including a decrease in sunlight due to the debris and dust kicked up into the atmosphere. This could potentially lead to a cooling period and disruptions to the food chain.
An asteroid impact could have a devastating impact on human life, depending on the size and location of the impact. It could cause widespread destruction, loss of infrastructure, and potential mass casualties. However, with proper preparation and warning, the impact on human life could be minimized.
