a comet

Earth's water is believed to have arrived from space via comet impact.
Comets rarely cause damage to Earth as they are small icy bodies that burn up in the atmosphere or pass by harmlessly. However, if a large comet were to impact Earth, it could cause catastrophic damage due to the high speed and energy of the impact.
Comet - Impact Comics - was created in 1991.
Would the impact of a comet on the Earth cause earthquakes? Possibly; it would depend on where the comet hit. But depending on the size of the comet that struck the Earth, the results might vary from "merely" very terrible indeed to absolutely catastrophic; The impact, the fallout, the tsunami (if a water strike) and/or the "nuclear winter" darkening of the skies with dust and debris would dwarf most conceivable earthquakes. Let me put it this way; if a large comet strikes the Earth, the last thing people will be worrying about would be an earthquake.

The sun is the largest out of the three and then the earth and then a comet.
A crater is formed when a meteoroid, asteroid, or comet collides with the Earth's surface at a high velocity. The impact creates a depression in the ground, often surrounded by an elevated rim, due to the explosive force generated upon impact.

The size, speed, location and angle of impact of the object with the Earth. A major factor would be if the impact is on water or land.
