Which asteroid? depending on its size, an asteroid impact could be devastating for life on Earth, though life would recover somehow eventually.
what is the answer
No, an asteroid cannot destroy earth, but a large enough asteroid can have devastating effects on the life on Earth
A piece of stone that falls from the Earth's surface is called a meteorite. Meteorites are rocks that survive the journey through Earth's atmosphere and land on the surface after being part of a meteoroid or asteroid in space.
No, if the Earth was destroyed by an asteroid we would not be living today.
Yes, the asteroid belt starts properly after the orbit of Mars.
it isnt because when it falls from earth itll just fall like a pebble falling from the ground
A rock or metal that plummets through the atmosphere and falls to Earth is called a meteorite. When a meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface, it is referred to as a meteorite.

An asteroid (not "astroid" - watch the spelling) and a meteoride is basically the same; if it has more than about 10 meters in diameter it is called an asteroid. A meteor is the name given to a meteorite that falls into Earth's atmosphere.

Meteoroids definitely fall to Earth as dust or small stones. To the best of our knowledge, no asteroid or comet has fallen to Earth within recorded history. But as large as they are, it's likely that a lot more than dust would survive a trip through the atmosphere by either of them.
Yes, if the asteroid is captured by the Earth's gravitational pull.
Probably not. I haven't seen any news about an asteroid about to strike Earth.
Theory suggests that it is a remnant of a large asteroid that struck the Earth
