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.

That depends on where you are on the Earth and where the meteor hits. ________________ Wherever you are on earth, if an object the size of the earth collided directly with us (at that size it would be a rogue planet, I think, rather than a meteor) then certainly all life on earth would come to an end, and likely within minutes.
