The only thing that destroys asteroids (until now) has been collisions with other objects; other asteroids, the Moon, the Earth, other planets or the Sun. (There have been asteroids that have fallen into the Sun!) When an asteroid collides with another asteroid, it doesn't actually destroy either asteroid; it just breaks both of them into smaller pieces.
The theory of an asteroid named Orpheus will hit Earth and destroy civilization in the future years. The asteroid is predicted to hit Mexico. Don't be afraid because it may or may not happen :)
Mercury is not a part of the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Mercury is far closer to the sun.
No. An asteroid can be anything from 10 metres to 487km as in the case of Ceres the largest asteroid.
no it was not an asteroid that hit the earth, it was kevins big mouth
1991 BA is the closest and smallest asteroid yet observed outside the Earth's atmosphere. Reference.
No, an asteroid cannot destroy earth, but a large enough asteroid can have devastating effects on the life on Earth
Yes they all could destroy Earth depending how big it is, how big the impact is when it hits, and where it hits,but its possible. Hope this helps.
No. The moon is large enough that even a collision with the solar system's largest asteroid would not destroy it.
No, but there would be a lot of destruction of life. It would only destroy the Earth if it is ENORMOUS, but I suppose it's possible.
Missiles can be used to potentially deflect or break up an asteroid, rather than destroy it completely. The effectiveness of this method would depend on the size and composition of the asteroid. Efforts to develop technology for asteroid deflection are currently being researched.
One the size of a grain of sand.
Armageddon was the movie Ben Affleck was in it.
No, it is not possible to destroy light.
It would maybe explode it depends on how big the asteroid is or how affective it can be all it mattters is that it will destroy anything in its path.
You don't. If a large enough asteroid is going to hit us that will destroy life on earth there is nothing that can be done. Hollywood story's to the contrary.
depending on the size it could destroy the planet or impact in the water and not do much. It all depends on the size of said asteroid!
Destroying an asteroid is a complex and challenging task that would require careful planning and precise execution. Several potential methods for asteroid deflection or destruction have been proposed, including using nuclear explosives, kinetic impactors, or gravitational tractors. The difficulty of destroying an asteroid would depend on its size, composition, and trajectory.
