Apophis is an 885 foot diameter asteroid that will pass by Earth on April 13, 2036. The odds of it hitting the Earth are calculated to be 1 in 48,000. Keep in mind that the asteroid that crashed into Chicxulub, Mexico wiping out the dinosaurs was 6 miles wide,nearly 36 times larger.

Will an asteroid hit sydney in the year 2029?

Chances are, no. There was some concern in 2004 that the asteroid Apophis might hit earth in 2029, but it is now known that the object will narrowly miss earth, though there is still some uncertainty of a few thousand miles as to how close it will come. There is still a very slight chance that it could hit earth in 2036.Even if we did predict that an asteroid would hit earth, we could not predict the path so precisely as to whether it would hit a particular city.
