It depends on how "big" it is. If it is almost three quaters of the earth's size, then yes, it would destroy pretty much everything there is on this planet. If it is a lot smaller, then it could wipe out most life on earth, but i don't know how big it would have to be exactly to do what it did to the dinosaurs

∙ 14y agoA well documented event actually occured when comet Shoemake-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter in 1994. A Google search for Shoemaker Levy 9 will furnish you with more information than you can handle.

∙ 12y agoAn impact from a large comet travelling at high speed relative to the Earth would be a catastrophic event, causing widespread devastation and extinction-level effects. Most of the comet and a large amount of surface rock would be expelled as dust and ash into the atmosphere, reducing sunlight levels over a wide area of the planet. This global cooling could render much of the Earth only marginally inhabitable, and loss of farm crops would create famines among the population.
Shoemaker-Levy 9 was a fairly large comet, up to 5 kilometers in width, until it was broken up by Jupiter in 1992 and collided with the planet in 1994.

What would happen if the moon rotated?
It would spin out of earths orbit. And most likely hit a planet, star, comet, or keep on going.
What object would hit earth?
It is quite common for small meteors to hit the Earth. Larger impacts by an asteroid or comet are also possible but happen much less often.
If you hit the home run in space what would happen?
The ball would travel in a straight line until it hit some planet, star, black hole, asteroid or comet, which could take billions of years.
Did a comet really crash into Jupiter?
Yes, between July 16 and July 22, 1994, several pieces of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter. It was the first collision of two solar system objects ever observed. The comet had been captured and broken apart by Jupiter's strong gravity. More than 20 fragments of the comet crashed into Jupiter's southern hemisphere at speeds of about 130,000 miles (210,000 km) per hour. The impacts released a lot of energy and created several large, dark scars in Jupiter's atmosphere which lasted for several weeks.
What is the comets name that hit Jupiter?
sun grazer is the name of a comet that crashes into the sun
Which planet was hit by a comet in 1994?
Jupiter. Jupiter was hit in 1994 by a comet called Shoemaker Levy9.
When a comet hit Jupiter did it leave a mark?
no it did not it just hit the gas and got gobbled up by Jupiter
What would happen if there is spark in Jupiter's atmosphere?
nothing would happen because comets hit Jupiter when it is hot and it does not burn up it. if Jupiter was a a bit bigger it would start to glow.
What planet was struct by comet fragments?
The planet Jupiter was hit by a number of fragments of the Comet Shoemaker-Levy9.
What planet was hit by comet shoemaker levy9?
Jupiter in 1994 it took an entire week for the 21 pieces to crash into Jupiter
Was Jupiter hit by a gigantic asteroid an exploding comet or a burning meteoroid in 1994?
It was a comet that broke apart as it approached Jupiter, due to the strong gravitational forces that the planet Jupiter exerted upon it as it approached, and collided with Jupiter's atmosphere in several gas explosions larger than the planet earth.The comet was calledShumaker Levy 9.
Which planet in the solar system had more mass accreted to it via a comet that impacted in 1994?
In 1994, comet Shoemaker-Levy collided with Jupiter. Much of the comet broke up in the atmosphere. The comet left visible scars on Jupiter for many months.
What happened to shoemaker-levy after it hit Jupiter?
After Shoemaker-Levy,a comet that hit Jupiter.Maybe Shoemaker-Levy exploded at the surface of Jupiter and created a crater.Then after Shoemaker-Levy exploded at the surface of Jupiter it started to rain C4 bombs in Jupiter! Then Jupiter Blew up!!! BOOOM!!! The End.
What would happen if the moon rotated?
It would spin out of earths orbit. And most likely hit a planet, star, comet, or keep on going.
What do you think will happen if a big comet were to hit earth?
it could be the end of the earth
Has a Comet Ever Hit?
It is very likely that a comet has hit the earth in the distant past. It is possible that a comet striking the earth led to the extinction of the dinosaur.
How much space would a comet wipe out if it hit Earth?
Depends on how big the Comet is.
