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.

Is the scientific name for asteroid asteroid?
Most asteroids are, not surprisingly called asteroid's. However some of the larger ones are refereed to as dwarf planets (Ceres) others planetoids or minor planets.
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.
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.
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.
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 characteristics set the inner planets apart from the outer planet and name the outer planets?
The inner planets are all rocky planets, whereas the outer planets are gas giants. Pluto is the exception. The outer planets also make 99% of our planets and are outside the asteroid belt.
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.
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)
Are smiley and karla a planet?
Yes, Smiley and Karla are the two planets beyond Pluto orbiting Sun. Both the planets were discovered by David Jewitt and Jane Luu of the University of Hawaii. Smiley was discovered on on 30 August 1992 and the later was on 28 March 1993. The planets were named after John Le Carré's spy novel characters. Since 'Smiley' was already classed as an asteroid, it cannot officially be named Smiley (as an asteroid of that name already exists). Hence it is officially designated so far only as '1992 QB1'.
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.
