No. While an impact from a large asteroid could cause a mass extinction event, no asteroid is large enough to destroy Earth. Collisions on the scale of the one that caused the last mass extinction occur roughly once every 100 million years. No known asteroids are on a collision course with Earth any time in the next 100 years.

Are you going to suvive when the meteor hits earth in 2012?
Seeing that I am answering this question in 2016, I suppose the answer is yes.
What is the law for when a meteor moving in a straight path changes direction when it flies by earth?
It would not be going in a straight line because it would already be in orbit round the Sun. When it comes close to Earth it is then attracted by the Earth's gravity and this is a standard 3-body problem with the meteor under two forces. It could be solved numerically.
What forces act upon a meteor as it falls toward Earth?
As a meteor falls toward Earth, the main forces acting on it are gravity and air resistance. Gravity pulls the meteor downward, accelerating its descent. Air resistance, or drag, counteracts this motion by pushing against the meteor as it moves through the atmosphere, slowing it down. These forces together determine the meteor's speed and trajectory as it nears the Earth's surface.
What is a meteor that strikes the moons surface?
A meteor that strikes the moon's surface is called a meteoroid when it is in space, a meteor when it is burning up in Earth's atmosphere, and a meteorite once it lands on the moon's or Earth's surface.
Does the gravitational force of earth affect the meteor?
Yes, the gravitational force of Earth does affect a meteor. As a meteor enters Earth's atmosphere, gravity pulls it towards the surface, causing it to accelerate and heat up due to friction with the air. This can result in the meteor reaching high speeds and potentially creating a bright streak in the sky as a meteorite.
Is a meteor going to earth?
Yes. Many per day.
Are you going to die when the meteor hits earth in 2012?
I don't know - did you.
Is there a meteor skimming earth in 2014?
It is The end, We are all going to die
Will retrograde rotation of a meteor impact earth?
Not really; meteors are so insignificant, compared to the mass of the Earth, that it makes precisely zero difference whether the meteor strikes the Earth going with or going against the Earth's rotation. Even a dinosaur killer that would devastate the biosphere isn't going to affect the Earth's rotation.
Is there a meteor going to hit earth in 2008?
Not recordedly but you never know - watch out!
How will world end in 2012?
There are several theories as to how the world will end. Nuclear holocaust, meteor crashing to earth, Jesus returns and destroys the earth with fire. Any one of these could happen. As to when it will happen, nobody knows.
Is a meteor going to destroy earth in 2012?
