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

∙ 15y agoWhile we are certain that a large comet or asteroid certainly WILL hit the Earth, we have no good candidates in mind. It will probably take us by surprise.
A few years ago, astronomers identified a large asteroid that appeared to be headed right for us! It was going to hit the Earth in 2029! On Friday the 13th!
Ooops! Never mind...... Tuned out that with more accurate observations of the asteroid's orbit, it probably won't hit at all. Might not even come close enough to see.
But scientists are coming to recognize that while a major asteroid strike is a VERY unlikely event, if it DOES happen, it would ruin everybody's day. So astronomers have started watching for Near Earth Objects, and hope to identify and catalog every asteroid bigger than a Basketball to make sure that it does NOT hit earth.
At least, not any time soon.

When is the next comet coming by the earth?
As of May 20, 2014 the next comet that will be coming by the Earth is Comet Faye at the end of May 2014. In June 2014, Comet Brooks 2 will be passing the Earth.
What is the next year that Haley's comet will be visible from earth without the use of a telescope?
Next appear in mid-2061
When did the last Haley's Comet pass by?
Earth never passed through Halley's Comet. It has been seen from Earth on many occasions. This happens about every 75 or 76 years. The last time was in 1986 and the next time it is expected to be seen from Earth will be in 2061.Earth never passed through Halley's Comet. It has been seen from Earth on many occasions.

Was Halley's comet seen in 1834?
No, Halley's comet was not visible in 1834. Halley's comet has an orbital period of about 76 years, so it was last visible from Earth in 1986 and will next be visible in 2061.
How fast does a comet go?
It is too difficult to tell. There is no existing average for the velocity of comets, as all comets are different. Gravitional, solar and initial velocity have a lot to due with the velocity of a comet. Even though there is a great deal of variation, the answer would have to be very, very fast. Fast, that is, compared to earth standards. If a comet were to hit earth, for example, chances are that we wouldn't see or even know that it had hit. It would just hit. Not to scare you. The chances of a comet hitting the earth are slim to none.
When is the next comet coming by the earth?
As of May 20, 2014 the next comet that will be coming by the Earth is Comet Faye at the end of May 2014. In June 2014, Comet Brooks 2 will be passing the Earth.
What would be the effect of this particular comet hitting earth?
If a comet hits the ground than the gravity will be greater or lesser?
When will the next comet shoot above earth?
The next comet will be Comet Ison which will pass by the earth in 2013. It will be visible with lenses during late summer and will be visible to the naked eye by approximately November.
What is the next year that Halleys comet will be visible from earth?
2061
When is the hallys comet due next to pass earth?
in 2016 .
Will Halley's comet ever crash to earth?
No. It is over 55 million miles from Earth when it gets to its closest so there is no chance of it hitting us.

Will Halley's comet be seen in 2061?
Yes, this is when the comet will next be visible from Earth according to predictions, on the 28th July. It was last seen in 1986.
