because like they say size isn't everything!

what matter is the volocity (speed) - compression (density) and mass of the objects that hit together not the size, so that a smaller object travelling many times faster than a bigger but slower object will cause more of an explosion.

What is the smallest part of a comet?

The smallest part of a comet is likely the dust particles that make up its coma, which is the cloud of gas and dust that surrounds the comet's nucleus. These dust particles can be as small as a few micrometers in size.

What may form when moisture condenses on small particles in the atmosphere?

AnswerWhen moisture condenses on small particles in the atmosphere, precipitation is formed. Depending on the chemical make up of the particles, the precipitation can have different effects. When the particles are composed of sulfur compounds, made from the burning of fossil fuels like coal, acid rain is formed and falls on the ecosystems below. Acid rain can drastically change an ecosystem by contaminating forests and freshwater resources.


Which theory proposes that all the matter in the universe simply exploded outward after it was compressed into a small space under tremendous pressure?

The big bang theory does not state that "the universe began with a gigantic explosion." The theory suggests that our universe originated from an infinitesimally small point called a singularity. Since all of space was all localized within this point, the rapid expansion of the universe isn't an explosion. An explosion occurs within space, but the expansion of space itself isn't an explosion. Quite simply, there isn't anything outside of space for the universe to explode into. Thus the "big bang" wasn't big, nor did it go bang. Around the time of the big bang (about 13.7 billion years ago), the universe was much hotter and expanding very rapidly (somewhat analogous to an explosion but by no means an actual explosion).

What would be the impact of a 1 gram of antimatter explosion on Earth?

A 1 gram antimatter explosion on Earth would release a tremendous amount of energy, equivalent to about 43 kilotons of TNT. This would cause significant destruction in the immediate vicinity of the explosion, similar to a small nuclear bomb. The impact would depend on where the explosion occurs, but it could potentially cause widespread damage and loss of life.

Large particles have less total surface area, so caused less friction then the smaller particles do


Would a large man-made explosion for example a nuclear explosive on a fault line cause massive tectonic shifts?

No, the plates are moved by slow convection currents in the mantle. An explosion would just shatter a quantity of crustal rock at a small part of the fault but could not cause any more movement than was already happening many miles below the crust in the mantle.

What are some small particles of stone or sand that can get into your eyes?

Some examples of small particles that can get into your eyes are sand, dust, dirt, grit, and debris. These particles can cause irritation, redness, and discomfort in the eyes if not promptly removed. It is important to flush the eyes with clean water or saline solution if you have particles in your eyes.
