Apophis is an asteroid that might come close to Earth in 2068, but destroying it is not currently a feasible or safe option. The best approach is to track its trajectory closely and, if necessary, use deflection techniques to alter its path away from Earth.
First, Apophis as an asteroid, not a meteor. A meteor is an object that has entered the atmosphere. Apophis is probably gray in color.
Apophis is traveling at approximately 67,000 miles per hour (107,826 kilometers per hour) in its orbit around the Sun.

Neither; Apophis is an asteroid, and not especially large. It would bear no mention at all, except for the fact that on Friday, April 13, 2029 it will come within about 20,000 miles of the Earth, closer than the orbit of geosynchronous satellites. But it will miss.
They don't think so, but it will be very close in 2029. There is more concern about the next time it comes by, but that's really not that far off, it will be in 2036. _____________________________________________ When Apophis comes close to Earth (and it will be VERY close on an astronomical scale - below the altitude of geosynchronous satellites!) on Friday, April 13, 2029, it WILL MISS. However, we cannot accurately predict PRECISELY how close it will come, and how the orbit of Apophis will be altered by the Earth's gravity. And when Apophis returns to near-Earth space, on Friday, April 13, 3036, there is a very small chance that it will strike the Earth. However, during the close pass in 2029, we will plant telemetry sensors and radar reflectors which will enable us to track it with perfect accuracy. And if we're smart - and nobody ever accused NASA of being smart! - we will also plant two very large nuclear weapons on Apophis. Then, several months later, when we've had time to calculate its orbit to see exactly where it will be in 2036, we can determine whether one or both of the weapons should be detonated to nudge Apophis into a safer orbit. And if it turns out that Apophis is not going to hit the Earth in 2036, then we can ignore them and watch the pretty asteroid scoot by. And in 2050 or so, we ought to be able to capture the asteroid and move it into a parking orbit, perhaps in the L4 or L5 points on the Moon's orbit. Just think; if this all works out, your grandchildren may live in the Apophis Station!
No. Apophis is an asteroid about the size of a skyscraper.
In effect, Jinzo does not "destroy" Trap Cards. It only negates the effects and prevents them from activating.Therefore, if Embodiment of Apophis was already active on the field when Jinzo is Summoned, the Trap Monster is pushed back into the Spell & Trap Card Zone face-up, and is useless thereafter, even if Jinzo leaves the field.However, if Jinzo was already on the field, then Embodiment of Apophis could not have been activated in the first place. All Trap Cards cannot be activated while Jinzois face-up on the field.
Apophis fought Bast for 7 years.

Apophis
Apophis was a snake god from Egyptian Mythology. Apophis is the son of the primordial deities Nun and Neith. He was born at the beginning of time and became enemy to the sun god Ra. Ra traveled the Duat, or underworld, at night and fought Apophis, who's goal in life was to destroy the world. When Apophis began learning magic and started killing magicians and Pharaohs, every night, Ra led a army of gods (See bottom) on the sun boat Sektet to fight Apophis and his army of demons and monsters. Ra chose his daughters Sekhmet and Hathor to fight Apophis directly. Despite their power and experience, all gods and magicians failed to destroy Apophis. When Ra's young daughter, the cat Bast, offered to fight Apophis, Ra locked them both in a cell of scarab beetles where the two have fought for 5000 years. Thoth, the ibis headed god of wisdom prophesied that if Bast won, the world would be rid of chaos. If Apophis won, a war named after him called Apocalypse would begin. Ra's army of gods consisted of an array of gods: -Sobek: The crocodile headed god who could control water and shows supreme strength. -Isis: The magic goddess, daughter of the sky, Nut, and the earth, Geb. -Horus: Falcon headed King Of The Gods, extremely powerful and Apophis' enemy. -Set: The god of evil, though he is one of the few gods who can challenge Apophis and come out unharmed. -Wadjet: The cobra goddess. -Sekhmet: A lion goddess and expert archer. -Hathor: A powerful cow goddess. -Onuris: The huntsman of the gods. -Nekhbet: The vulture goddess. -Babi: Baboon god who symbolizes death. -Mut: Ra's wife. -Renenutet: Snake headed goddess. -Thoth: Ibis headed god who can fend off Apophis' greatest spells. -Taweret: Hippo goddess who shows icredible strength.
apophis is the egyptian god of chaos
Apophis the Red Meteor was named by American scientists in 1992 after the ancient Egyptian god of chaos and destruction known as Apophis. The name was chosen to reflect the potential danger posed by the asteroid's close approach to Earth.
Apophis is traveling at approximately 67,000 miles per hour (107,826 kilometers per hour) in its orbit around the Sun.
