NEO's (Near Earth Object)
meteors pass through earth's atmosphere and if they are large enough to not burn up they hit the earth becoming meteorites, that is about as close as is possible
Objects which approach a black hole will get sucked into it.

i am not quite sure what the aestroid is called although i do know that it has the letters : ROES...
Mars is at an average distance of 78 million km from Earth but can come as close as 55.7 million km during a close approach.
Icy objects that light up the night sky when close to the sun are comets. Comets are made up of ice, dust, and rock, and as they approach the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize and create a bright glowing tail visible from Earth.
Yes, anything that get's within a close range of the earth will be pulled on by earth's gravity.
It was in February 2012 about a year before its close approach to Earth in February 2013.
Venus is the closet planet to Earth, with an average orbit from the sun ofapprox .7 AU. A typical planetarium program will show the orbits of theplanets and show that Venus can come as close to earth as 0.267 AU and Marsclosest approach is 0.373 AU.The closest Planet to the Earth is Venus.
We call the closest point of approach to the Sun "perihelion". "Peri-" from the Greek for near, and "helion" from the Greek "Helios" or "Sun".At perihelion, the Earth is at a distance of 147,098,074 kilometers or 91,402,506 miles.
While there is no gravity in space, gravity from Earth still affects objects in close proximity. Meteors fall towards Earth due to its gravitational pull. As the meteor enters Earth's atmosphere, it experiences friction which heats it up and causes it to glow, creating a meteor trail.
No. Because it is so close to Earth, objects cannot establish lunar orbits that are stable in the long term.
