Would a 20000 mile wide meteor destroy the earth?
A 20,000 mile wide object would not be a meteor; it would be a planet significantly larger than Earth. In that case Earth, which is about 8,000 miles wide, would definitely be destroyed.
What would your weight be at 6 miles above the earth?
the same
How wide is Arizona meteor crater?
Arizona meteor crater is 0.737 miles or 1.186 kilometers in diameter.
What happens to a planets crust when it is hit by a meteor?
Well how big is this meteor? Normal meteorites that hit the Earth do not cause any damage to the Earth's crust. It would have to dive many, many miles to even touch the crust. Our many layers between the lithosphere and the crust usually protects us from damaging the actual crust.
How big is meteor that might end the world in 2012?
Don't be worrying! The meteor that your talking about will not go into 2012,but it will be in 2032.The meteor that killed the dinosaurs was 7 miles long.The meteor is called J002E3.So,don't worry!
What is the famous meteor?
There are plenty of famous meteors, to know which one specifically you are speaking about, I would need a name. The most famous is probably the one that many believe killed all the dinosaurs. This meteor is estimated to be about 6 miles wide, and created a crater about 110 miles across. Many believe that the Chicxulub Crater in Yucatan, Mexico is this meteor.
If a meteor falls why do people refer to a meteor rise?
I personally have never heard of a "meteor rise". Meteors are often called "Falling Stars", but every alternative I have heard includes the phrase "falling"."Meteor rise" is most likely a misheard "meteorite".A meteor is the streak of light we see when a bit of space rock or dust hits the Earth's atmosphere at tens of thousands of miles per hour, and bursts into incandescence because of the heat of friction. Most meteors are about the size of a grain or rice or smaller, and several thousand of them hit the Earth each day - even more during a "meteor shower". If the meteor survives collision with the earth, it is then considered a meteorite.The occasional bigger rock may range from basketball-sized to car-sized, but things much larger than that are (fortunately!) fairly rare.
What is earths gravity weight?
An object doesn't have a single, definite weight. Its weight depends on where it is and what other masses are nearby, so it can change. You probably know that whatever your weight is on the Earth, it would be only 1/6 as much on the moon, so you're familiar with the idea that 'weight' can change. The Earth has one weight from being 238,000 miles from the moon, and a different weight from being 93 million miles from the sun.
How many miles away is a meteor?
All shooting stars or meteors occur within the atmosphere of the Earth, predominately the mesosphere, which means they occur within 50 -> 120km of the Earths surface.
What is the actual weight of the moon?
The weight of the moon is 7.3459 X 10^19 metric tons. The distance from the Earth to the moon is 239,200 miles.
Will there be a comet or asteroid that comes close to the earth in 2036?
No. There is no comet or asteroid or meteor going to hit the Earth. Most of it is superstition.
What is the distance of all planets from earth?
Mercury- 57,000,000 miles from Earth Venus-23,700,000 miles from Earth Earth-0 miles from Earth Mars- 35,000,000 miles from Earth Jupiter- 500,000,000 miles from Earth Saturn-746,000,000 miles from Earth Uranus-1,687,000,000 miles from Earth Neptune-2,680,000,000 miles from Earth Pluto-94.5 million miles from Earth
