∙ 10y agoAt one time there was a belief that some places were, for some unknown reason, "meteor magnets". The state of Kansas is often cited; there was even a book published called "The Gods Hate Kansas" because so many meteorites were found there.
It turns out the reason that a lot of meteorites were found in Kansas is that a rock lying on the ground stands out more if it's on deep loam than if it's in a place like Massachusetts where people find rocks lying on the ground all the time. There are just as many meteors in Massachusetts, people just don't notice them because they get lost among all the other rocks.
Meteors aren't much more likely to strike any given square meter than any other square meter. There might be a very slight preference for the equatorial regions over the poles, just because most meteors are in largely solar-equatorial orbits, so they're slightly more likely to come in along the ecliptic plane rather than parallel to it, but there's enough variance in orbits that I'd expect this effect to be small.

Which is most likely to be a more frequent visitor of earth a comet or an asteroid why?
An asteroid, because the orbits of the asteroids are nearer to the earth than the comets.
Where would an asteroid most likely hit earth?
where ever it lands up
Which is most likely to make a more frequent visitor of earth a comet or an asteroid?
assteroids
Most asteroids orbit the sun in the?
Actually there are an place of Asteroids. Sun Mercury Venus Earth Mars ASTEROID Belt. So why I capitalized the word ASTEROID on ASTEROID Belt. Because this Belt is full of Asteroids
Is Earth located inside the asteroid belt?
No most of the asteroids are in the asteroid belt which is between Mars and Jupiter.

Where do asteroids strike the most?
Asteroids strike the surface of the Earth randomly. There is no place on the earth that is a preferred location for asteroid strikes.
Spacecraft traveling to Jupiter from Earth would most likely have to navigate through or around which natural obstacle?
Asteroid belt

What will happen in 2029?
99942 Apophis is a 270m diameter near Earth asteroid that was thought to be on a collision course with Earth. It caused a panic in 2004 as it was thought that it might hit the earth in 2029. New calculations estimate that the asteroid will now most likely miss.
What is like an asteroid but smaller?
atmospheres surface, most likely called a meteriod.
Which class of asteroid would most likely have the greatest density?
Comictosis astoriods
Can astiriods will come to earth?
Asteroids have hit Earth before, and they will most likely hit again in the future. One asteroid destroyed most dinosaurs, some 65 million years ago. More recently, in 1908 a smaller asteroid - perhaps a hundred meters in size - caused an explosion comparable to an atomic bomb in the Tunguska (Siberia, Russia).
Why the asteroid belt has not collided into the earth?
Most of the asteroids in the asteroid belt have stable orbits around the sun well beyond any gravitational influence from Earth worth noting.
