An asteroid might hit at any moment. There is no reason to believe that an asteroid will hit any time soon, though.

How will the world be when the asteroid falls on earth?

Which asteroid? depending on its size, an asteroid impact could be devastating for life on Earth, though life would recover somehow eventually.


Why did the earth get hit with meteorites?

The Earth is constantly hit by small meteorites simply because space has no friction. Therefore, if a small asteroid were to somehow been flung out of the Asteroid belt (becoming a meteor), and was aim at Earth, chances are that it'll hit.


How far does the asteroid damage spread?

Asteroid damage is a function of five things. Impact site properties (rock, water, gas planet like Jupiter; remember Shoemaker-Levy-9?), trajectory, velocity, mass and density. The bigger, faster, heavier, and more perpendicular the asteroid is in relation to you, the more screwed you are!Worst case scenario: an asteroid the size of...oh i don't know...Jupiter, and 1045density of lead (and somehow escapes being crushed into a singularity) (Harry Potter is involved, OKAY?) is headed for a head-on collision with earth (and it's moving to intersect exactly along our orbital path, just in the wrong direction at 99% the speed of light) Here's what'll happen: you know when a fly meets up with a big rig doin' 90, now you get the idea. Now take that idea and multiply ad infinitum.Of course this could never happen....or could it? 2012, ooh!


Why did the Mayans said that the world is going to end in 2012 December 21 2012?

What is Mars sister planet?

Actually I believe that the asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter was Mar's sister planet. However it was destroyed somehow hundreds of millions of years ago and could have possibly stripped Mars of it's life giving atmosphere.

If Mar's were somehow positioned into the same orbit as Earth's. How would it's time to circle the Sun compare with Earth's?

The speed and the orbital distance are directly related. If Mars were in Earth's orbit, it would either move with the same speed that the Earth does, or it would fall into the Sun.


How many planets rotate in the opposite direction of the others?

Relative to the orbital plane, only two major planets appear to rotate (spin) in a clockwise direction,Venus and Uranus.Of these two, only Venus has lost its what is assumed to be its original counter-clockwise rotation. Uranus only appears to rotate clockwise, as observed from above the orbital plane, because its North Pole was somehow knocked over by 98° to technically become its South Pole.

When trying to do front end alignment- How many inches from back rim to front rim on 92 silverado Chevrolet pickup?

This is called wheel base and varies from model to model. In an alignment measuring this with a tape measure will just mess you up. The rear wheels need to be straight ahead in relation to the frame of the vehicle to prevent dog tracking (technically thrust angle). With a tape measure you would pick a perfectly centered point near the front and measure to the axle on each side to see if it was sitting square under the truck. This is not realistically possible. Computerized alignment machines do this somehow if you check the rear wheel alignment. But strangely the front wheels do not need to be exactly side by side to work correctly. This makes checking the wheelbase useless.
