That's hard to say, since asteroids come in all sort of sizes.

By the way, it is more appropriate to talk about the mass of astronomical objects, than about their weight.

What countries are hit by asteroid?

Asteroids can potentially impact any country on Earth as they do not discriminate based on location. NASA and other space agencies constantly monitor near-Earth objects to assess potential impact risks and take necessary precautions to mitigate any threats.


How many years does an asteroid take crashed on earth?

Asteroids typically take thousands to millions of years to reach the Earth from the asteroid belt. Once in the Earth's vicinity, an asteroid can crash into the Earth at any time depending on its trajectory and other factors.


What path do asteroids take?

== == An ellipse. Like planets.


Why asteroid should be watched carefully?

Asteroids should be watched carefully because they have the potential to collide with Earth, causing significant damage and loss of life. By monitoring asteroids, scientists can track their movements and potentially take action to mitigate the threat of a collision. Additionally, studying asteroids can provide valuable insights into the history and composition of our solar system.


Which is most likely to make frequent of earth a comet or a asteroid why?

Asteroids are more likely to make frequent visits to Earth compared to comets. This is because asteroids primarily reside in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and their orbits can bring them into proximity with Earth's orbit. In contrast, comets originate from the outer regions of the solar system, such as the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud, and have long, elliptical orbits that take them far from the inner solar system, resulting in less frequent encounters with Earth.

How do you convert how much you weigh on eath to how much you weigh in the moon?

You just take your weight divided by 6. example (60 pounds on earth = 10 pounds on the moon)

Why does mercury take less time to revolve around the sun than earth does?

Because Mercury is much heaveyer than the earth so it takes more time to rotatebecause of its weight


Can near earth asteroids crash into the moon?

Yes as a matter of fact they can hit the Moon. Take a look at the Moon through a telescope and you will see what I mean.


How much does the earth way in pounnds?

It doesn't make much sense to talk about the "weight" of a planet. Where would you weigh it on? To compare different planets, the "mass" is used instead. This is not quite the same as the weight. Take a look at the Wikipedia article on "Mass versus weight" for more details.


How much does a man weight on the moon?

The moon is much smaller than the Earth. As a result, the force of gravity on the moon is only about one sixth as strong as gravity on earth. If you were to weigh yourself on a scale here and then could take that same scale to the moon and weigh yourself, the weight read on the moon would be 1/6 your earth weight. So, if you weighed 100 lbs on earth, you would only weigh about 16lbs on the moon. Talk about losing weight fast!


How would you find out how much you would weigh on the moon?

First some facts. The moon is:1/4 Earth's radius (r)1/50 Earth's volume1/80 Earth's mass (M)The formula for gravitational attraction (weight) is:F=GM1M2/r2In this equation:F is the force between the masses,G is the gravitational constant,M1 is the first mass (you),M2 is the second mass (the moon or the Earth), andr is the distance between the centers of the masses.Therefore Fmoon= Fearth /{(Mearth/Mmoon )(rmoon/rearth)2}Take the Earth weight and multiply it by 0.1655 .If that seems like too much trouble, then just take 1/6 of the Earth weight.

How much weight are you pushing when you do push ups?

you are pushing up your own weight.


How is weight different from massAND how is weight measured?

weight is measured by how much gravity is pushing down on you. weight is different from mass because mass is how much room you take up. weight is how much something or someone weighs.
