Scientist say that a large sum of asteroids did a big bang and the asteroids created the lava core in the center of the Earth, when the Earth spun the heat cooled down so that bits of rock and environment could form. So according to scientist asteroids created Earth.
Basically he means that earth was made from rock
Apollo asteroids are a group of near-Earth asteroids with orbits that intersect with Earth's orbit. They are named after the first asteroid of this group discovered, 1862 Apollo. Some Apollo asteroids are classified as potentially hazardous asteroids due to their close approach to Earth.
It is possible for comets and asteroids to hit Earth, but they are extremely rare events.
Main Belt asteroids -- a band of asteroids located in the "missing planet" gap between Mars and Jupiter. None of these are economically attractive in a near term program because they are too far from Earth.Amor asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits approach but do not cross Earth orbit, and whose orbits are further from the Sun than Earth's orbit (i.e., "outside-t" Earth orbit). Many have orbits which reside entirely between Earth and Mars. Some of these are economically attractive in the near term.Apollo asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Apollo asteroids spend most of their time outside Earth orbit. Many of these are economically attractive in the near term.Aten asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Unlike Apollos, Atens spend most of their time inside Earth orbit. A large percentage of known Atens are economically attractive in the near term.
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.
Eros belongs to the Amor asteroid group, which are a class of near-Earth asteroids that have orbits that bring them close to Earth's orbit. Amor asteroids are named after the asteroid 1221 Amor, which was discovered in 1932.
Asteroids that occasionally cross the orbit of Earth are known as Near Earth Asteroids. Asteroids that both cross the orbit of the Earth and are large enough to pose a significant threat in the event of an impact are known as Potentially Hazardous Asteroids.
Apollo asteroids are a group of near-Earth asteroids with orbits that intersect with Earth's orbit. They are named after the first asteroid of this group discovered, 1862 Apollo. Some Apollo asteroids are classified as potentially hazardous asteroids due to their close approach to Earth.
asteroids vary in size from rock size to earth size and bigger.

No. Asteroids can hit anywhere on earth.

Asteroids strike the surface of the Earth randomly. There is no place on the earth that is a preferred location for asteroid strikes.
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.
no it does not
They can.
Yes. Asteroids can enter earth's atmosphere. In such an event the asteroid will probably strike earth's surface.
