A small rocky body that orbits the sun?
Asteroid - a small, rocky body that orbits the Sun.
What would happen to earth if a massive comet or asteroid hit the moon?
The Earth would suffer little affect. The most we would get is rocks blasted from the moon and made it to Earth although they would be to small for any real damage. The moon would experience a crater in its place.
What do you call a rocky object that revolves around the sun but is too small to be considered a planet?
it is called an asteroid. it can also be called a mini planet.
This is found in between mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids are found orbiting the Sun in between Jupiter and Mars. So, the answer is "the Asteroid Belt".
What would happen if the sun increase in size?
we would die
How long would it take an asteroid to hit the sun?
It would depend entirely on how far away the asteroid was from the sun. Furthermore, which sun are you referring to? There are many suns in the solar system.
What would happen with global warming if earth is hit by an asteroid?
Depending on the size of the asteroid and the speed of its collision, millions of tons of dust will explode into the atmosphere and be carried all round the world, blotting out the sun. Without the sun's heat the atmosphere would cool and global warming would slow. If the dust cloud remains for years many species will die. This is one of the theories for the disappearance of the dinosaurs.
What would happen to the moon if there was no earth?
If there was no Earth, the Moon would never have been created.Or it would just be an asteroid-type thingy that orbits the sun. or orbits empty space while orbiting the sun.
What would happen if the sun doesn't hit the southern hemisphere?
Then you fail.
What happens if Mars hit the Sun?
If it did, it would be destroyed. Due to gravity, it would not happen.
Has an asteroid ever hit the sun?
Yes. It has happened countless times.
What would happen if a shooting star hit the sun?
It happens all the time. What happens to the Sun? Nothing at all.
Does an an asteroid have a larger acceleration when it is nearest to the sun or the earth?
An asteroid will have a larger acceleration when it is nearest to the sun due to the stronger gravitational force exerted by the sun compared to the earth. This acceleration causes the asteroid to move faster when it is closest to the sun.
If a asteroid hit the world what would the effects be?
The effects would depend on the size of the asteroid, but even if the asteroid was the size of a small house the effects would be devastating. First of all those who live in the area of impact would die in instant destruction. if the asteroid hit water huge tidal waves would be created flooding most of the world, the waves could be up to 3 miles tall maby even taller depending on the size of the asteroid. the sun would also be blackend out because dust would be spewn up into the atmosphere which would stop heat from reaching the planet causeing global cooling
Does sun have asteroids?
No the sun does not have asteroids because by the time the asteroid got away from the sun there would be nothing left of it.
Is an asteroid in the sun's gravitational field?
Yes, any asteroid within the distance of pluto, and a few beyond it, are in the sun's gravitational pull. If they weren't, they would drift off into space.
What asteroid passes nearest to the sun?
The asteroid 2020 AV2 has the closest perihelion (closest approach to the sun) of any known asteroid, coming within about 6.61 million kilometers of the sun. This asteroid has an elliptical orbit that takes it very close to the sun before swinging out into the outer solar system.
