How might an asteroid impact change Earth's climate?
An asteroid impact can change Earth's climate by releasing dust and debris into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and causing a temporary cooling effect. Additionally, the impact can also release gases like sulfur dioxide, which can lead to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Overall, an asteroid impact can disrupt the balance of Earth's climate system and lead to significant changes in temperature and weather patterns.
