If you were traveling in deep space, it would be easy to see an asteroid in your path; use your radar to detect it, and then shine a light on it. There would be essentially no natural light, but if you don't have any artificial lights, then you probably don't have a habitat that will enable you to survive in deep space anyway. All spacesuits have lights. So the question would be moot; you would be dead and not able to see anyway.

If you were in a space suit with no lights in deep space, then during the (very brief) interval before you died you would not be able to actually see an asteroid, but you might be able to see the occultation of stars; if a star were to suddenly "disappear", you might reasonably assume that some dark object had come between you and the star.

Answer

There is light in deep space. Just like on earth there is star light, but it would be darker than the darkest night seen on earth. Whether or not an asteroid would be visible depends entirely on what that asteroid is made of and how reflective it is.

How long does it take to travel 36 miles?

That would depend on what way you were travelling and how fast you were travelling at. You could be crawling, hopping, walking, swimming, driving, flying, sailing, skiing, cycling etc. You could be doing any of those at different speeds. The terrain you were travelling over could be another factor, as could other things, like weather.That would depend on what way you were travelling and how fast you were travelling at.

What effects did an aseroid have on earth?

The Asteroid would be slowly sucked in my Earth's gravitational forces. If it is traveling at a high speed it could plummet towards earth. This may or may not be fatal to the Earth's population. I could quite possibly dislodge enough dust into the atmosphere to be fatal to all beings on the Planet. However if the asteroid is not travelling at a high speed it would orbit around the earth until disturbed. Hope this helps.

sound cant travel on an asteroid because it has no atmosphere. it could travel through it.


What is the gap called between mars and Jupiter?

Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun. Most of these objects are boulder sized or smaller, but some are quite large. The largest is a Dwarf planet called Ceres, which is around 975km in diameter. Its the only one in the asteroid belt called a dwarf planet as it it big enough, and has enough gravity to make itself into a spherical shape.


How will the world be when the asteroid falls on earth?
