With little asteroids, they are so small that we generally cannot see them until they actually hit. The first ever asteroid detected in time was detected in October 2008, and the asteroid did strike the Earth 16 hours later, exploding high in the atmosphere over the Sudan, a nation in Africa. (There were no known casualties.)
As of now, there are no known asteroids that are on a collision course with the Earth.

national economies, world trade, or nuclear wars. Every nation on earth would be
joined in a common effort to figure out how to avoid the asteroid strike, and to
carry out the plan.

∙ 12y agoAs u know The solar storm is electroradioactive wave storm which is on surface of sun .sun's gravity keep those waves in its gravity . Don t worry before it reaches earth we would thrown out of solar system or the earth would itself would get pulled and would be destroyed due to sun's gravity . The next solar storm would come in year 5000 destroying everything

∙ 13y agoSolar storms are difficult to predict. We know that they are more common during the rising part of the 11-year sunspot cycle, as we are now. But they can happen almost any time, even in the absence of visible sunspots.
We generally get between 36 and 72 hours advance warning, because we can see when a coronal mass ejection from the Sun is launched toward the Earth, but even then, CMEs don't always cause solar storms.
Watch SpaceWeather.com if this is a topic that interests you. You can see interesting astronomical phenomena, the daily sunspot number, and the probability of CMEs.

What would happen to earth if a solar storm hit?
we would die but you don't need to worry about that for 5 billion years cause that's when the world really ends
Can a solar flare harm you physically?
no because a solar flare cant actually hit the earth the earths magnetosphere protects it there for the flare will not hurt you physically
What region of the atmosphere where auroras occur?
They occur the northern atmospheres. Closer to the magnetic poles where the solar storms hit the earth the hardest.
What is storm watch?
A storm watch is when a hurricane is predicted to hit in 36 hours.
Does a solar eclipse occurs on a new moon day?
That's the only time when the moon is on-line between the Sun and Earth, so it's the only time when the moon's shadow can hit the Earth's surface.
What are the threats to earth from a solar storm?
Scientists believe that the earth will be hit with a solar storm in the near future as the sun reaches it peak in its cycle. Some believe that satellite communications and power grids can be severely effected or knocked out completely.
What would happen to earth if a solar storm hit?
we would die but you don't need to worry about that for 5 billion years cause that's when the world really ends
When is the next astriod predidted to hit the earth?
The next time a asteriod will hit earth will be in the next 1 million years.
When is an asteroid next predicted to hit the earth 2015?
Currently there are no asteroids expected to hit Earth in the next 100 years.
What is a source of charged particles that hit the earth?
Solar winds
When will the solar tsunami hit EARTH?
it's been long gone. solar 'tsunamis' hit about once every 11 years, but earth's magnetic field prevents it from getting through.
What is a Geomagnetic storms?
Geomagnetic storm occur after every 11 years.
What would happen if a Massive Solar Storm hit the Earth during a magnetic shield flux say like when the planets align?
A planetary alignment should not have any significant influence on such an event, one way or the other.
How do sunspots and solar flares impact earth?
It is called a magnetic storm. What happens is during solar flares, sun throws out some high energy particles, and at speed that take a few hours sometimes to reach earth. Earth, thank God, has a magnetic field and this is what protects us all. Mars does not have this any more for example. Northern and Southern lights are cause by the particles reacting with rarefied gasses in the very upper reaches of the atmosphere, and depending of the gas, nitrogen, oxygen, etc., they produce the colors. High altitudes, as satellite and high flying aircraft, it can destroy electronic equipment by the currents they can produce. It is also not good for astronauts, and pilots that stay at high altitudes for extended periods and when a solar storm approaches, they protect themselves in special shielded areas of the ISS. High altitude jets are usually flown at much lower altitudes if a severe solar storm will hit the earth. Main impact on earth is the power grid, as they do cause current leakage and can cause complete blackouts which have happened in the past. Solar flares (normally exit at cool areas on the sun as sunspots) do impact the earth if the earth happens to be in the direction of the solar storm. Solar storms are very directional and do not go out in all directions as the sun´s light.
When is an aseriod next predicted to hit the earth?
in the next 768 years it is asteriod tenesa
Can a solar flare harm you physically?
no because a solar flare cant actually hit the earth the earths magnetosphere protects it there for the flare will not hurt you physically
How long was the longest snowstorm?
from the day a meteor hit earth til now..in Antarctica...always a snow storm
