a meteorite is a rock that hits the earth an asteroid is a rock just floating out in space and a meteor is a rock that comes into the earth's atmosphere but burns up
No. There is no comet or asteroid or meteor going to hit the Earth. Most of it is superstition.
No, there is no evidence to support the claim that a giant asteroid was going to hit Earth in 2014. Astronomers keep a close eye on potentially hazardous asteroids, and there are protocols in place to deal with any potential threats.
It is rare for astronomers to be able to see an asteroid that is going to hit the Earth, but it DID happen in 2008. The asteroid 2008 TC3 was seen about a day before it landed. The fireball was visible from airliners hundreds of miles away, but I do not believe that any actual impact crater has been located. The reason why it is so rare to see an asteroid before it hits are, one, most things that hit the Earth are pretty small, and difficult to see in space. And two, if it is going to hit the Earth, then the bearing of the object won't change; it won't appear to move across the sky, but just be sitting right there in the sky looking like a dim star. And until it gets really close, no one will notice that is getting closer and closer!
There were no known asteroids heading for Earth in 2012. The likelihood of such an event is extremely rare and highly monitored by astronomers. It's important to rely on credible sources for accurate information regarding potential asteroid impacts.
There is no asteroid known to be on the way to hit Earth. If one were to be discovered, then people would start working on a way to try and avoid a catastrophe. But right now, there is no way.
We are safe.
Depends entirely on the impacting speed and the size of the asteroid. Generally an asteroid impact is not going to bode well for life on Earth
An asteroid is going too hit earth this weekend.

You don't. If a large enough asteroid is going to hit us that will destroy life on earth there is nothing that can be done. Hollywood story's to the contrary.
NO! And the proof is its already 2013 no hit and earth isnt in the middle of the solar system and many planets are in it so I say planet x isnt going to collide with earth and if it is a meteorite then theres a really big chance planet x hits the huge sun and melts there

A Comet is a body in perpetual orbit. A Meteorite is a body which enters the Earth's atmosphere. It is unlikely that Halley's Comet will ever crash into the Earth.

There is a global rumor going around that it will hit in December 2012, they say it is the end of the Mayan Calendar and the end of the world.
