How many millian years ago when the dinosaurs extinct from the asteroid?
scientists don't know if an asteroid killed the dinosaurs it is just a guess the dinosaurs died 65 million years ago
Where do scientists think the asteroid or comet hit the Earth?
Some scientists think that a gigantic asteroid may have hit the Earth where the Gulf of Mexico now is, leading to the extintion of the dinosaurs and many other forms of life because of the global cooling created by the dirt and dust thrown into the atmosphere. Other scientists do not agree with this hypothesis and believe the Gulf of Mexico was formed by the drifting apart of the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates.
What happened when one or more large asteroid collided with earth about 65 million years ago?
it shaped the moon
What happened in 1989 with asteroid 4581?
In 1989, asteroid 4581, designated as "Asclepius," made headlines when it passed close to Earth, coming within 1.1 million kilometers (about 700,000 miles) of our planet. This close approach raised awareness about the potential hazards posed by near-Earth objects. Scientists used this opportunity to study the asteroid's characteristics and trajectory, contributing to ongoing efforts to monitor and understand such celestial bodies.
What happened when the enormous asteroid hit earth some 65 years ago?
They believe the asteroid that killed off the dinosaur was 30 miles in diameter and impacting the earth at more than 250,000 miles per hour.
Did the breakup of Pangaea have a effect on dinosaur extinction?
No, the breakup of Pangaea occurred long before the mass extinction of dinosaurs. The main factor believed to have caused dinosaur extinction is an asteroid impact that occurred around 66 million years ago.
What are NEAs?
Most asteroids are in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. But a few do come close to the Earth; these are called Near Earth Asteroids. You can see a list of NEAs, and the dates that they will come closest to the Earth, at www.spaceweather.com. Asteroids and comets have collided with the Earth in the past, and someday one will collide with Earth in the future. Depending on the mass of the asteroid, the damage could be catastrophic. 65 million years ago, scientists now believe that an asteroid or comet hit the Earth, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs and most life on Earth.
Size of asteroid belt?
93 million miles
What is a sentence that has asteroid in it and a metaphor?
asteroids are the rocks of he universe
What do scientists believe will happen with the current position of the continents during and at the end of another 50 million years?
they will all be together
The asteroid belt lies about million miles from the sun?
The Asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter at an average distance between 186 million miles and 300 million miles, (300 million and 600 million kilometers). The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 93 million miles sometimes referred to as an Astronomical Unit, (AU). The Asteroid Belt is between 2.7 and 4.0 au's from the sun along the ecliptic.
Where is the asteroid belt and how far is it?
The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter, It's a couple of million miles away.
