any time you have a large chunk of rock floating around a collision would be ugly. luckily most asteriods are trapped in the asteroid belt. meteors are debris coming in contact with the atmosphere. such heat is involved from friction that even marble sized meteors give quite the light show. it would take a huge one to break through the atmosphere to make contact with the earth's surface

Asteroids relation to earth?
Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun and are commonly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Occasionally, asteroids can come close to Earth as they travel through our solar system. If an asteroid were to impact Earth, it could have devastating effects depending on its size and composition. Scientists actively track and monitor asteroids to predict any potential impacts and develop strategies to mitigate any potential threats.
What are facts about Apollo 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.
All meteorites collected on Earth come from asteroids or comets?
Most meteorites come from asteroids, which are rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Some meteorites could also come from comets, which are icy bodies. Both asteroids and comets can collide with Earth, resulting in meteorites.
Which of these hit the earth comets or asteroids?
It is possible for comets and asteroids to hit Earth, but they are extremely rare events.
What are the names of the asteroids that cross Earth's orbit and Jupiter's orbit?
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.
Explain at least two ways that comets and asteroids can affect earth?
it can destroy earth
Do you need to aim for the asteroid?
Yes. To destroy asteroids and protect the earth you must aim for the asteroids with nukes or the laser beam house.
Will earth be able to defend from meteors in the future?
The earth has the technology today to in the future defend itself from meterors and asteroids. It takes a lot more than rockets to destroy meteors and asteroids.
Can nukes travel into space and destroy asteroids?
Yes, nukes(nuclear weapons) can travel up into space to destroy asteroids and huge flying rocks.
How could floods change the earth?
destroy

What are the group of asteroids that may occasionally cross earth?
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.
What could destroy a fossil?
people who turn up soil ( destroy the earth) ex. miners
Could a comet or asteroid or meteorite destroy the 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.

Are asteroids larger then earth?
asteroids vary in size from rock size to earth size and bigger.
All meteorites collected on Earth come from asteroids or comets?
Most meteorites come from asteroids, which are rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Some meteorites could also come from comets, which are icy bodies. Both asteroids and comets can collide with Earth, resulting in meteorites.
