Dinosaurs died
The Himalayas formed when the Indian tectonic plate collided with the Eurasian plate around 50 million years ago. This collision caused the Earth's crust to crumple and uplift, creating the tallest mountain range in the world.
The moon formed when a celestial body collided with Earth, causing debris to be ejected into space. This debris eventually came together to form the moon.
An object that crashes into Earth is called a meteorite.
The layer of iridium found all over Earth is known as the iridium anomaly. It is believed to have originated from a large asteroid impact that occurred around 66 million years ago, leading to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. The presence of this iridium layer is one of the key pieces of evidence supporting the theory of an asteroid impact causing the mass extinction event.
Your weight on an asteroid would depend on its size and mass. Since asteroids are much smaller than Earth, your weight would likely be significantly lower than 80 pounds, due to the weaker gravitational pull.
it shaped the moon
Most of the asteroids in the asteroid belt have stable orbits around the sun well beyond any gravitational influence from Earth worth noting.
An asteroid to happen? Asteroid cannot 'happen'. It can collide with earth, or any other object with mass, though.
a currently popular theory is that the moon came about when an asteroid collided with earth, ejecting what is now the moon into near-earth orbit.

Most asteroids are in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. But a few do come close to the Earth; these are called Near Earth Asteroids. You can see a list of NEAs, and the dates that they will come closest to the Earth, at www.spaceweather.com. Asteroids and comets have collided with the Earth in the past, and someday one will collide with Earth in the future. Depending on the mass of the asteroid, the damage could be catastrophic. 65 million years ago, scientists now believe that an asteroid or comet hit the Earth, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs and most life on Earth.
Earth did not exist 65 billion years ago. However 65 million years ago an asteroid collided with Earth, triggering a mass extinction even that wiped out a wide variety of organisms, including the dinosaurs.
The Chicxulub asteroid is believed to have come from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. It is thought to have been a fragment of a larger asteroid that collided with Earth around 66 million years ago, leading to the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Smaller. Something as big as the Earth would have so much gravity that it would probably have collided with something else and been eliminated
A large comet or asteroid striking earth
Because it was headed towards earth. It was bound to happen.
wouldn't matter because we would be extinct and no one would be around to worry about it.
