How has exploration helped us learn about impacts of space objects on earth?

Exploration of other worlds has helps us learn about the impact of space objects. When an object strikes the surface of a larger object in space, it explodes and leaves behind a round pit called an impact crater.

How did space exploration has helped to improve mankind's life on earth?

Is the weight earth changing?
Not quickly. The only way that mass is added to the Earth is meteor impacts. Objects sent into space could reduce the total mass of the Earth, but not enough for it to matter on a macroscopic scale.
Why do celestial bodies appear to move in the sky?
We observe celestial objects from the Earth. Since Earth rotates around the sun we see the celestial objects moving too. So basically due to the rotation of the Earth, celestial objects always seems to move from East to West.Hope that helped Of-course that must have helped, -Hailey xD LOL
Why are meteor impacts not common on earth?
Meteor impacts are VERY common on Earth. However, the erosive forces of wind and water tend to wear away the smaller impacts fairly quickly, and the very large impacts are less common.
The Earth's provides protection from meteorite impacts by causing them to?
The Earth's ATMOSPHERE provides protection from meteorite impacts by causing them to BURN UP.
How has comets helped the study of space?
Comets come from the coldest parts of the universe and contain ice and organic materials. Scientists believe that impacts from comets on earth are responsible for contributing to organic materials and possibly life on earth.
Is it possible to use magnetic fields to prevent earth impacts by near earth objects?
This would not be a good way to go about it. Not all near Earth objects are metallic, they can be rocky or even contain volatile substances if they are cometary in origin. Even if they are made of nickel and iron, and are ferromagnetic, all a magnetic field can do is attract them, it cannot repel them. So, if you established your magnetic planetary protection device on the moon, and you had enough power to generate a sufficiently strong magnetic field, you could then attract near Earth objects to the moon rather than to the Earth. But there are simpler ways to deal with such objects.
What is the earth's pull on an objects?
The earth's pull on objects is the force of gravity.
What positive impacts does an earthquake have on the earth?
there are no positive impacts when an earthquake happens, it only causes misery and destruction
Do craters cover most of the Earth?
No. Earth has relatively few impacts craters.
What is the measurement of the pull of gravity between the earth and the earth objects?
I assume you mean "between Earth and other objects". That is called the WEIGHT of the objects.
Which celestial object guards earth?
The large outer planets, particularly Jupiter, are believed to act as giant gravitational "vacuum cleaners" or shields to absorb or deflect objects which might result in dangerous impacts with Earth. Despite this, there is abundant evidence of meteorite impacts on Earth's surface, although these can get gradually obliterated by geological (and sometimes biological) processes. Although not strictly a celestial object, the atmosphere of Earth also causes many smaller objects to get deflected away or burn up in the atmosphere preventing their impact upon Earth's surface. Additionally, the Earth's own geomagnetic field protects against dangerous effects of the solar wind which might otherwise turn Earth into a world hostile to our familiar life forms.
