How does an asteroid fall on earth ex. does the asteroid just go rolling until it reaches earth?

The Earth itself is in free-fall, falling around the Sun in its orbit.
Asteroids behave the same way; they are falling in their orbits around the Sun.
Sometimes, they collide, like cars on the freeway.

Can you consider earth as having a uniform velocity?
No. Earth's rotational velocity is slowing. Do you mean the velocity of Earth's revolution around the sun? The earth speeds up in its orbit until it reaches perihelion, and then slows until it reaches aphelion.
How many times will the earth orbit around the sun?
The earth will keep revolving around the sun until the sun dies out or earth is hit by a really big asteroid and knocks it out if its orbit.
Does Objects that are falling toward Earth move faster and faster?
Until the object reaches it terminal velocity
What happens to solar radiation from the moment it leaves the sun until it reaches the surface?
It find its way to earth
How does the sun provide a major energy source for Earth?
through nuclear reactions that occur at the core of the sun. it radiates that energy until it reaches the earth.

It find its way to earth
How does light travel from space to earth?
Light is a particle called a foton that is fired of by a star and then continue's to travel in the direction it was fired in for many ages until it reaches something it collides with. it can be that this particle reaches earth or your eye in witch case you see it
In the next 30 to 50 years how big is the asteroid?
The chances of an asteroid hitting earth in the next 30 to 50 years are low. If it does happen, we will not know how big the object will be until it is discovered or, if we are less lucky, until it hits us. Currently no known objects are expected to hit earth any time in the next century, but some are being monitored for a present, albeit small risk.
Where is the crystal asteroid in Poptropica?
go through the asteroidbelt until you find a large asteroid with a giant Crystal on it.
What effects did an aseroid have on earth?
The Asteroid would be slowly sucked in my Earth's gravitational forces. If it is traveling at a high speed it could plummet towards earth. This may or may not be fatal to the Earth's population. I could quite possibly dislodge enough dust into the atmosphere to be fatal to all beings on the Planet. However if the asteroid is not travelling at a high speed it would orbit around the earth until disturbed. Hope this helps.
Does water seep into the ground until it reaches a rock layer with no pores?
no because water stops seeping into the ground when the earth is saturated.
