How much gravity does the asteroid belt have compared to earth?

The asteroid belt is not a single object. You would have to assess the gravity on each asteroid individually.


What happens if a space shuttle hits an asteroid?

If a space shuttle were to collide with an asteroid, it would likely experience significant damage or destruction. The force and speed of the impact would depend on the size and composition of the asteroid. The outcome could range from damaging the outer layers of the shuttle to completely shattering it, with potentially catastrophic consequences for the crew aboard.


How much would it cost to get rid of the asteroid belt?

millions of millions of millions of millions... ten hours later... of millions of millions of dollars. the asteroid belt is giganitic. to get rid of it would be one of the hardest things in the world and an asteroid is like a dwarf planet. it would be an enormous amount to get rid of one.


What model of universe creation is supported by the red shift?

All modern models based on science that are worth their salt would be. The only major theory I know about the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory, which is supported by Red Shift observations. Galaxies we can observe are all moving away (we know this due to Red Shift) from a central point, believed to be the epicenter of the Big Bang.


What would happen if a asteroid hit the sun?

An asteroid, being primarily composed of metals of vaious kinds, would melt and be vaporized long before making contact with the surface of the sun.

How does the theory of asteroid impact relate to the extinction of Dinosaurs?

I does not. The asteroid would of had to knock out the entire earth for that to happen. If you think of the facts it is just not possible.


Is the theory true that the theory of evolution is supported by a wide range of biological evidence?

Yes. If evolution was not widely supported by evidence, then it would be regarded as a hypothesis rather than a theory.

Yes. If evolution was not widely supported by evidence, then it would be regarded as a hypothesis rather than a theory.


What lack of evidence weakens the theory of an asteroid?

A lack of evidence would weaken any theory. But the well known asteroids have well defined orbits.


When a hypothesis has been repeatedly and rigorously tested and supported it is called a?

Assuming it passed all the tests it would move into a theory.


If data from repeated experiments support a hypothesis what would happen next?

It would become a theory. Then different predictions would need to be made to test other parts of it.


What would happen if a human traveled to an asteroid?

Then a human would arrive at an asteroid.


What would happen if an asteroid hit Asheville NC?

It would depend on the size of the asteroid.


Which theory proposes that the moon was a passing asteroid pulled into orbit by Earth's gravity?

The capture theory says that the moon was originally orbiting the sun, but it passed to near the earth, and became the moon. The biggest problem with this theory is that this action would have created so much heat that it would melt the earth.

Is it possible to hang a building from an asteroid?

Not quite sure what you mean with hang from it; the asteroid would attract the building (much less so than Earth does, but still), so the asteroid would be "downward" for anybody close to the asteroid.In principle there is no reason why you couldn't build something on an asteroid, but that would not "hang... from the asteroid".
