What was the name of the asteroid that hit earth?
They have not been named. There have been many of them over the millions of years.
What processes would occur if an asteroid hits the earth?
Well that would depend on the size of the asteroid, but a substantial asteroid is likely to cause massive localized damage and destruction of entire ecosystems, blotting out of the sun from dust particles thrown into the atmosphere, tidal waves/tsunamis, massive loss of human life if centered near populated areas, to name a few.
When will wormwood hit the earth?
I am not aware of any asteroid or other astronomical object with such a name - and much less of one that is about to hit Earth. If you clarify where you got the information from, we might investigate a bit more.

What was the name of Sky King's ranch?

Name the 5 planets beyond the asteroid belt?
In order from the sun, the planets are:Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, [asteroid belt], Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto [which is now considered to be a dwarf planet].
Is Uranus inside or outside the asteroid belt?
The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. As such, the outer planets (or Jovian planets) can be said to be outside the asteroid belt. That is, they are located beyond the belt and are therefore further away from the sun than the belt.
Is the scientific name for asteroid asteroid?
No, the scientific name for asteroids is not "asteroid." Asteroids are typically named based on the order in which they were discovered, followed by a designation that reflects the specific characteristics of the asteroid, such as its orbit or composition.
Is Ceres a plutoid?
Ceres and Pluto are both considered to be 'dwarf planets.' There are roughly half a dozen recognized dwarf planets in our solar system. Pluto, originally recognized as the ninth planet, was 'downgraded' a few years ago from planet to dwarf planet.
What is the name of the belt that separate the inner from the outer planets?
The asteroid belt orbits between the rocky planets and the gas giants.
What is the name of the largest asteroid in the universe?
the largest asteroid ever found" The largest asteroid is CERES, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is 580 miles (930 km) in diameter , about the size of Texas. It accounts for about 25% of the total mass of the belt.
What is located beyond the orbit of mars?
The Asteroid Belt is between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. "Asteroid" means "star-like object," and that is what they appear like when viewed through a telescope. But of course, they are not anything like stars. "Minor Planet" is the more appropriate alternate name, as they do orbit the sun, much like the other planets. They vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers. Ceres, the largest minor planet, and the first to be discovered (by Giuseppe Piazzi, in 1801), is spherical and 940 km in diameter. Smaller minor planets are irregular in shape. Here is a list of the 20 largest minor planets (The first number shows the order in which they were discovered)
What is the name of the asteroid which is likely to be reconsidered or upgraded to a planet and where is it located?
The asteroid Ceres, located in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter, was reclassified as a "dwarf planet" in 2006.
What is the name of the asteroid located between mars and Jupiter?
There are lots of Asteroids in between mars and jupiter, Also referred to as the Asteroid Belt.
Why is gas giants a good name for the four planets beyond mars?

Where in the solar system are most of the dwarf planets located?
Dwarf planets by their definition do not have a specific place in which they are necessarily located, but as it pertains to our solar systems, a majority of the dwarf planets have been located beyond Neptune, in a region of the system known as the Kuiper Belt. The only current dwarf planet in the inner solar system is Ceres, in the Asteroid Belt.A dwarf planet is defined asAn object with sufficient mass to generate enough self-gravity to attain hydrostatic equilibrium (meaning a near sperical shape)An object that is not a satellite of another planetary bodyOne that (unlike the major planets) has not sufficiently cleared its orbit of other astronomical bodies.Pluto is now classified as a Dwarf Planet thanks in part to the discovery of several other objects in the belt of similiar, if not larger, mass within the Kuiper Belt, known collectively as KBOs, Kuiper Belt Objects. Another example of a dwarf planet would be Ceres, located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. There is also Eris, which is an example of a series of objects collectively known in our system as Trans-Neptunian Objects-TNOs. Neptune's own moon of Triton has been theorized to be a Dwarf planet-TNO that was captured by planet's gravity after being knocked out of it's original orbit within the Belt. The remaining dwarf planets are Haumea and Makemake in the Kuiper Belt.
Describe a asteroid belt?
The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is occupied by numerous irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. The asteroid belt region is also termed the main belt to distinguish it from other concentrations of minor planets within the Solar System, such as the Kuiper belt and scattered disc.
