Unless the asteroid actually STRIKES the Earth, then they have virtually no effect at all.
If the asteroid does strike the Earth, then it will cause damage like any other falling rock, although in this case the rock is falling at at least 25,000 miles per hour and may be tons or thousands of tons in size. An asteroid the size of a school bus exploded in the atmosphere over Chelyabinsk, Russia on February 15, 2013, causing millions of dollars in damage and causing over 1,000 injuries, mostly from flying glass.
If an asteroid the size of a ship were to hit the Earth (it has happened before!) it would cause continent-wide damage, and a really BIG asteroid could devastate the entire Earth.

How are asteriods different from comets?
asteriods and comets are different because when asteriods hit earth we are going to to have destroyed buildings and places on eath and comets are like particles in the galaxy and its when they destroy planets and make them into a different shape or sized in the galaxy.
What are asteriods composed of?
Asteriods are composed of rock that broke off of other planets.
How do asteroids support the Big Bang theory?
I can not think of any role in which the asteriods help to support the Big Bang Theory. Asteriods, like so much other accumulated matter, are just a byproduct of the creation event. However there is a Big Impact Theory in which the asteriod-like object (or perhaps even a planet size object) collision is one scenario for the formation of Earth's moon.
Which of the types of bodies in the solar system is most numerous?
Stars or asteriods
How does the greenhouse effect earth?
the greenhouse effect influences the earth by cause global warming. The reason why is because the greenhouse effect, traps heat in our atmosphere, causing the earth to heat more than usual.

Hunks of rock

hundreds of thousands
Were did it come from earth?
i think earth is made up of many asteriods that collided and stayed then got pulled into the suns gravitational pull.earth developed a pull of its own and heated in the center creating lava,but this might not be true i only think so
