Here's all the info you could even need on this. More than you want probably. If you aren't scared when you are done reading it something is wrong. Keep in mind, the size is not the only factor on the devastation one of these nasty buggers could cause. Mass and velocity both play a factor. A heavy smaller object travelling faster is just as bad as a bigger but lighter slower moving object. http://neo.jpl.NASA.gov/ The Reasoner - http://un-reasonable.blogspot.com
It would have to be 1kilometer or more to threaten earth
relative to body size it is huge but size to earth ratio isnt that big at all look at the smithsonians website they have a model of it
Anywhere from a small asteroid to Earth's size, depending on the planet.
ey big back!
If its big enough... It can kill a lot of people
There are no known asteroids the size of Texas that have even the slightest chance of hitting Earth. The only known Texas-sized asteroid is Ceres, which has a stable orbit in the asteroid belt and could never hit Earth.
Yes there are multiple, but none are likely to hit in our lifetime. But there is a small chance of one hitting us. But its not like one of those doomsday things when its almost as big as earth. It would be devastating though.
no it was not an asteroid that hit the earth, it was kevins big mouth
if its bigger than isle of man it would do a very big impact and damage
Smaller. Something as big as the Earth would have so much gravity that it would probably have collided with something else and been eliminated
Probably an asteroid, meteor or comet.
size doesn't matter its the angle and speed of the asteroid that it is at, plus if that did happen the earth would either drift off into space and eventually get back into a orbit because of the suns gravity or explodes and everything would just flip, roll over, fall how ever you wanna put it. plus its nearly impossible for a asteroid to do that it would probably do what i said in the second sentence.

it will exploded the earth or if it lands in the water it will make a really big tsunami.
asteroids are big in the shape
No asteroid is at all harmful to us or to Earth unless our planet and the Asteroid draw unusually close together. If that were to happen, then yes, you'd have to say that for a close encounter of any given distance, the probability of unpleasant results would vary roughly in proportion to the asteroid's physical size.
rocks of dust :)like a big rock with holes in themor a big pile of space dust combine togetherand probably another asteroid hit the Chicxulub asteroid whic cause it to come to earth:(
