The Earth has been hit by meteoroids numerous times, even in the last century. Consequences range from small craters to flattened forests to mass extinctions on a planetary scale. For more information, see links below.
Yes, the Earth has been hit by asteroids in the past. These impacts have been responsible for mass extinction events and have left large impact craters on the Earth's surface. Fortunately, the likelihood of a large asteroid impact in the near future is low due to monitoring and detection efforts.
Yes, the Earth has been hit by asteroids in the past. One notable impact is the one that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs around 66 million years ago. This impact caused widespread devastation, including tsunamis, wildfires, and a "nuclear winter" effect due to debris blocking sunlight.
Yes, there has been a lot of astroids that hit the earth. Most of them are small.
Yes. We have had several on record and probably many more that were not recorded.
the earth is continually bombarded by asteroid, comets and meteors you do not see them because they burn up in the upper atmosphere on impact ... there is an impact site in Mexico ... where it is believed caused the extinction of dinosaur ...
yes! it depend to gravitational pull and the weight of an asteroid
Almost certainly.
If you ever been in space, there are many asteriods.

unless a big earthquake or big asteroid collision, no.
Depending on how you define "asteroid", it could have been last night.But there was an impact in Africa last October that probably qualifies as an "asteroid"; it was a space rock big enough to be seen through a telescope, and it was detected 18 hours BEFORE it hit. It was the first time scientists had ever observed a space rock before impact.
1991 BA is the closest and smallest asteroid yet observed outside the Earth's atmosphere.---- Reference.http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v354/n6351/abs/354287a0.html
Maybe it's a possibility, but no such effect has ever been detected or measured yet, and no component of human physiology has been identified that's sensitive to magnetic fields.
