Well some people say that the world might end in 2039 by an asteroid called apophis. If it hits in the Pacific Ocean then there will be monsunes that are up to 52 feet tall and will flood Hawaii, California, through Alaska. If the asteroid hits the Atlantic Ocean then the lands that are close to the alantic ocean are going to be flooded.

∙ 9y agoThe question is not very clearly defined. How close do you want the asteroid to pass? How large must the asteroid be, at the least? I would guess that asteroids "pass by Earth" all the time, if you allow them to be far enough, and small enough.

Which planet is just beyond earth?
Going outwards from the Sun, the next planet in the solar system after Earth would be Mars. Going inwards from Earth towards the Sun, the next planet is Venus - whose orbit is actually closer to Earth's than that of Mars.
What does DA14 mean for an asteroid?
This asteroid does exist, found in less than two weeks before the Spanish La Sagra Observatory astronomer, 2012 DA14 just temporary number. Has been found to connect 10 days of observation, astronomers generally determined its orbit, similar to the Earth's orbit, but the inclination is large. Therefore, most of the time, the asteroid away from Earth came away. But it does have two opportunities each year the asteroid can run very close to the distance of the Earth. Just said, year 2 chances will run to the near Earth asteroid. Last February 16 this year, when it was closest to the earth about 250 million kilometers, equivalent to the Earth-Moon distance of 6 times, partial, or very far. However, next year's February 15, 2012 DA14l indeed close to the Earth. It grazed from about 21,000 kilometers from the Earth's surface, the height of the geostationary orbit communications satellites used to broadcast television signals are low than us! Though this is really close to the Earth rub in the past, but still just "rub." In the past it does not hit the Earth. 21000 meters in astronomy scale is really close to the standards of everyday life, this distance is far enough. It is unlikely to hit the Earth in February 2012 DA14 next year.
How Long Till The Next Asteroid Hits Earth?
Thousands of asteroids are being observed; some may come quite close to Earth within the next few hundred years. Right now, no specific date is known, for a specific asteroid to hit Earth.Thousands of asteroids are being observed; some may come quite close to Earth within the next few hundred years.

Will an asteroid hit earth in 2026?
Possibly; that's still 15 years in the future. At this point (in August, 2011) we have no knowledge of any particular asteroid that's heading this way. However, the last time that an asteroid hit the Earth (in 2008) we first saw it about 16 HOURS before impact. This was a fantastic achievement, because scientists had NEVER seen an asteroid or meteoroid before impact before.
When is the next comet hitting the earth?
There is no indication that a comet may hit the earth in the foreseeable future. NASA and other agencies are continually looking for and tracking celestial objects whose orbits may bring them relatively close to Earth. There could possibly be a comet-Earth collision some time in the next 10,000,000 to 100,000,000 years, but none is predicted. But in 2012 the earth may be hit by a small shower of meteorites

When is an asteroid next predicted to hit the earth 2015?
Currently there are no asteroids expected to hit Earth in the next 100 years.
What planet is Mars next to?
The next one in is Earth, the next one out is Jupiter, although there is a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter called Ceres.
Which planet's orbit is closest to earth?
Venus' is. Mars' is next.

Is it possible an asteroid will hit the earth next year?
no it wont next year we will still be here so we can not be deid next year we will be in shcool so no
Is there going to be a meteor that destroys Earth?
No. While an impact from a large asteroid could cause a mass extinction event, no asteroid is large enough to destroy Earth. Collisions on the scale of the one that caused the last mass extinction occur roughly once every 100 million years. No known asteroids are on a collision course with Earth any time in the next 100 years.
What is the percentage of an asteroid hitting earth in the next 100 years?
An asteroid or meteor that would cause climatic change, about 1 in 600,000 to 1 in 10,000,000.

What do scientists think will probably cause Earth's next ice age?
changes in Earth's orbit and the tilt of its axis
What two planets are next to the earth?
Earth is the next planet to orbit inside Mars, while Jupiter is the next planet to orbit outside Mars orbit. Mars' orbit is closer to Venus (and Mercurys') orbit than it is to Jupiters though.
