What else can I help you with?
Why do cosmologists calculate these asteroid's orbits and compare such orbits with the earth's orbit?
So we can guess when a meteor might hit the Earth.
Is there moon on the Earth?
The moon is not on the earth if it was we all would be dead because we would have been squashed by the moon and the gravitaty. but the moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun. it is like a racetrack when your watching a cartoon and they get hit in the head and birds are flying around their head. its like the racecar driver was driving still and got hit in the head and had the birds flying around it.
Why a satellite doesn't hit earth as it orbits?
inertia makes it want to fly straight but gravity makes it curve
Will something hit the earth on dec 21 2012?
Undoubtedly
Why doesnt all of the suns energy make it to the earth?
-- Almost all of it misses the Earth, because the Earth is such a small target. -- A substantial amount of the tiny fraction that does score a direct hit on the Earth is absorbed by the atmosphere.
What is a meteor tail called?
A meteor tail is called a "meteor trail" or "meteor streak." It is the glowing path left behind as a meteoroid travels through Earth's atmosphere.
Why do asteroides hit earth?
Asteroids hit earth because when asteroids are floating because of the gravity when it goes out of gravity it floats to earth and hits earth.And please be helpful and click if it was helpful or not and then flag it if there was something wrong and thank you.
What shapes are the orbits of many comets?
Most cross orbits of planets which allows it to hit the planets easier. They do not go into a full orbit at all.
Why wont the earth crash into the sun?
The Earth will never crash into the sun because the Earth will go into it's ice age before it EVER gets near the sun. Once the Earth goes into the ice age, the sun will start to move away from the Earth. That is why the Earth will never crash into the Sun. Hopes this answers your question <3
Were the moon came from?
as other people say moon come from the earth so it means that when the earth was formed millions years ago something hit earth and a part of earth riped apart and that was the moon
What is the difference between a moon and a meteor?
Meteors are objects that fly into earth's atmosphere and burn; sometimes they burn up completely and sometimes they land on the ground (or water). The Moon does not and hopefully never will hit the earth's atmosphere. The Moon is a satellite of Earth; that is to say it orbits around the Earth. Meteors are not satellites; they just fly in from wherever.
How to calculate if an asteroid will hit the earth?
There is essentially no chance of any given asteroid ever hitting the Earth, because those with orbits that made them likely to hit the Earth have already hit the Earth. So it's not something you really need to worry about.If you're just curious... well, really, you don't want to know that badly. It comes down to solving n-body gravitational equations, and for any reasonably sized n (i.e. larger than, say, 3) there is no known exact solution except in special cases, so you have to use numerical methods and hope the interesting bits don't get lost in rounding errors.
