Yes. We have had several on record and probably many more that were not recorded.
99942 Apophis is an asteroid where initial observations indicated a small probability (up to 2.7%) that it would strike the Earth in 2029.Later observations concluded that the asteroid would miss the Earth.The chances are now set at a one in 3 million that it will hit Earth.
The Near Earth Asteroids.
The Lincoln Laboratory Near-Earth Asteroid Research Team at Socorro, New Mexico is credited with discovering the asteroid, Biyo, on May 22, 1998.The asteroid was named after the teacher, Dr. Josette Biyo.
As far as we know, no rogue planet has ever come near Earth. Comets and asteroids have come near Earth, but not actual planets.
There are hardly any comets, meteorites or asteroids near earth. There are only a few that are millions of kilometers from earth. There are a few that pass earth a bit closer because of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

NEAR=Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous
The acronym NEAR stands for Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous.

The Near Earth Asteroids.
99942 Apophis is a 270m diameter near Earth asteroid that was thought to be on a collision course with Earth. It caused a panic in 2004 as it was thought that it might hit the earth in 2029. New calculations estimate that the asteroid will now most likely miss.
tilted by an near hit or hit by an asteroid
Near-Earth asteroids have some potential to collide with Earth. The effects of an impact, even from a relatively small asteroid, could be devastating. So, scientists are working to find objects that might collide with Earth. If one is shown to be a substantial danger, then strategies for deflecting it to miss earth may be discussed.
No. Ceres has a stable orbit in the asteroid belt.
i think it has somthin 2 do with gravitational pull as the asteroid passes by the earth it pulls the eath slightly along with its gravity.
