What can rapidly affect Earth's surface?
Zombies.
Do asteroids comets and meteoroids pose danger to earth?
Meteoroids generally do not pose much of a risk as they are generally small enough to burn up in the atmosphere, and do not reach the surface. Asteroids and comets are larger and can cause potentially catastrophic damage if they strike Earth.
What two space objects produce meteorites?
Asteroids and comets are the two space objects that produce meteorites when they enter Earth's atmosphere and survive the descent to reach the surface. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, while comets are composed of ice, dust, and rock.
Is there a hole in the moon's surface?
Yes, the moon does not have holes like Earth does. However, it does have craters, which are formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids. These craters can appear as "holes" on the moon's surface when viewed from a distance.
How do you use asteroid in a sentence?
Scientists study asteroids to better understand the early solar system.
Where do asteroids strike the most?
Asteroids strike the surface of the Earth randomly. There is no place on the earth that is a preferred location for asteroid strikes.
Can asteroids come in earths atmosphere?
Yes. Asteroids can enter earth's atmosphere. In such an event the asteroid will probably strike earth's surface.
Explain at least two ways that comets and asteroids can affect earth?
it can destroy earth
Which layer protects earth from asteroids?
The Earth's atmosphere is the layer that helps protect the planet from asteroids. When asteroids enter the Earth's atmosphere, friction causes them to heat up and break apart, reducing the impact of the asteroid on the Earth's surface.
What are the Beliefs about asteroids?
One superstitious belief about asteroids is if an asteroid crashed in the surface of the earth, the climate will become hotter. Another is that asteroids will cause great harm to the earth when it passes. Since science has studied asteroids, there are not many superstitions about them.

What are asteroids and how do they affect Earth in a way that kids can understand?
Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, and sometimes they can come close to Earth. When an asteroid collides with Earth, it can cause a big explosion, like a giant firework. This explosion can create a lot of heat and dust, which can block out sunlight and affect the Earth's climate. Scientists study asteroids to understand their movements and protect Earth from potential impacts.
When the earth was hit by a asteroid did it have a affect on the earth?
Asteroids have hit the Earth that have brought about the extinction of nearly every animal and many of the plants on earth.

What layer of the atmosphere protects Earth's surface from being hit by asteroids?
The entire atmosphere will burn up small asteroids (meteors), but larger ones will strike the Earth. This is how the Caribbean Sea was created.
What force allows asteroids to fall from orbit and hit Earth's surface?
The asteroids that strike earth's surface do not fall from orbit. Asteroids have fairly small masses, so their orbits are easily altered by interactions with other objects. Sometimes the orbit of an asteroid is changed such that its orbit intersects Earth's orbit. If the timing works out so that the asteroid reaches the point of interestion at the same time as Earth does, then a collision will result.
What are the interplanetary material that collides with the surface of the Earth?
Interplanetary material that collides with the Earth's surface includes meteoroids, asteroids, and comets. When these objects enter Earth's atmosphere and survive the journey to impact the surface, they are referred to as meteorites.
