How big will the meteor be that will hit Earth in 2039?

Answer 1

Right about .... NOW. And again ...... NOW. Meteors strike the Earth tens of thousands of times per day. Most are tiny, the size of a grain of sand, and burn up completely in the atmosphere. In fact, "meteor" is the word for the streak of light we see in the sky when a space rock (or grain of space sand) hits the atmosphere and burns up.

A few times per day, larger things hit the Earth, and explode with spectacular - or rarely, catastrophic - results. On Saturday, July 30, 2010, a meteor exploded over Santa Fe, New Mexico with a fireball brighter than the full moon. See the related link below!

Answer 2

Scientists are not aware of any meteor or asteroid that is likely to strike the Earth in 2039, or at any other future date. Thousands of meteors strike the Earth each day, but only a few dozen are large enough to do any damage, and they don't usually cause any.

There are exceptions. A boy in Germany was struck in the hand by a meteor just last week. Last year, a meteor crashed in a swamp in South America, and the fumes sickened several people; from the fumes of the red-hot meteor in the swamp or from the panic isn't entirely clear. A family in New Jersey had a meteor strike their new car parked in the driveway several years ago. In 1908, a large meteor struck near the village of Tunguska in northern Siberia, causing forest fires and probably several deaths. (Records in that area weren't especially good back then, and the area is still very remote.) About 13,000 years ago, a large meteor struck northern Canada, probably killing off all of the people in North America at the time, and plunging the Earth back into a mini-ice age called the Younger Dryas.

But we have no way of knowing what will strike the Earth 30 years from now. Probably nothing significant.

Answer 3

There is no confirmed prediction or data indicating that a meteor will hit Earth in 2039. Astronomers continuously monitor near-Earth objects for potential impacts, and any significant threat would be communicated through official channels.

Answer 4

Meteors enter the Earths atmosphere very frequently. Look up at the night sky and within an hour you should have seen a meteor or shooting star.

Answer 5

yes but we can save our selves by asking the space people to let us use the space ships to carry us to a diffrent planets rick people if we can!

Answer 6

It becomes a meteorite when it impact the earth.

Answer 7

Probably in the next few minutes. Thousands of meteors hit the earth every year. In a typical year there are between 18,000 and 80,000 meteorites of 10 grams or more, which strike earth.
