What was noteworthy about Asteroid strikes in Sudan in 2008?
Scientists correctly predicted the impact in advance.
Meteor that strikes the earth surface?
Is called a bolide or impactor and any fragments that survive the collision with the atmosphere or ground are called meteorites.
How can asteroids catch fire if there is no air in space?
Asteroids do not catch on fire, nor does the so-called "fire" occur in space. When an asteroid is in space it is simply a lump of rock of rock and/or metal. When an asteroid strikes the atmosphere of a planet, it does so at an incredibly high speed, in Earth's case at least 25,000 miles per hour and sometimes as fast as 100,000 miles per hour. At such speeds the air around and in front of the asteroid will become extremely hot and turn into glowing plasma, which looks somewhat like fire. It is not true fire as the materials that make up and asteroid are not flammable and no combustion is taking place.
What effect do asteriods have on earth?
Unless the asteroid actually STRIKES the Earth, then they have virtually no effect at all. If the asteroid does strike the Earth, then it will cause damage like any other falling rock, although in this case the rock is falling at at least 25,000 miles per hour and may be tons or thousands of tons in size. An asteroid the size of a school bus exploded in the atmosphere over Chelyabinsk, Russia on February 15, 2013, causing millions of dollars in damage and causing over 1,000 injuries, mostly from flying glass. If an asteroid the size of a ship were to hit the Earth (it has happened before!) it would cause continent-wide damage, and a really BIG asteroid could devastate the entire Earth.
When was The Comet Strikes created?
The Comet Strikes was created in 1971.
Can a asteroid damage a planet?
An asteroid can indeed damage a planet when it strikes it. It is possible that an asteroid strike resulted in the dying off of the dinosaurs on Earth. There are certainly some large craters on Earth that are suggestive of asteroid strikes.
When an asteroid strikes the earth is known as?
crater
When an asteroid strikes Earth it is known as a?
Meteorite.
In a colision the second colision is when the unsecured driver strikes the inside of a vehicle?
In a collision, the second collision is when an unsecured driver strikes the inside of the vehicle.
Can asteroids during a collision with a planet form a crater?
Yes, even the smallest asteroids can create massive craters because they are travelling at such tremendous speeds. Several variables can affect the size of the crater, including the size, speed and density of the asteroid, the density of the ground and the angle at which the asteroid strikes.
What can you do if asteroid strikes?
Depending on the size of the asteroid and where it strikes. For all purposes an impact of an asteroid should be treated much like an atomic blast. With a duck and cover strategy. Water impacts may cause flooding, and higher ground should be moved to.
When an asteroid hits land or ocean is it still an asteroid or simply a rock?
I think it becomes a meteor in our atmosphere & a meteorite when it strikes.
When will the all the humans die out?
2880 when the asteroid 1950da strikes the earth
What happens when an asteroid strikes the ground?
The asteroid becomes one or more meteorites and may leave a crater if the impacting piece was large enough.
Is an asteroid a meteor that strikes earth surface?
No. A meteor that gets to the ground is a meteoroid. An Asteroid is an orbiting body between Mars ans Jupiter.
What was noteworthy about Asteroid strikes in Sudan in 2008?
Scientists correctly predicted the impact in advance.
What effect does an asteroid have on the earth?
Virtually no effect, unless it strikes the Earth, in which the effects could be catastrophic.
