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.
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.
Which layer protects earth from asteroids?
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.
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 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 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.
Are asteroids larger then earth?
asteroids vary in size from rock size to earth size and bigger.
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.
Is Costa Rica safe from asteroids?
No. Asteroids can hit anywhere on earth.

Where do asteroids strike the most?
Asteroids strike the surface of the Earth randomly. There is no place on the earth that is a preferred location for asteroid strikes.
What are the Beliefs about asteroids?
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.
Do aliens send asteroids to earth?
no it does not
Do asteroids come close to the earth?
They can.
Can asteroids come in earths atmosphere?
Yes. Asteroids can enter earth's atmosphere. In such an event the asteroid will probably strike earth's surface.
