An uncommon belt of dust with radioactive elements is found just where many dinosaur remains cease to be found (chronologically speaking). The layer of dust corresponds to an impact of a giant asteroid in what is now the Gulf of Mexico called the Chicxulub crater, just north of the Yucatan peninsula.

What effect did the asteroid have 0n earth?
The asteroid impact caused mass extinction of the dinosaurs and approximately 75% of all species on Earth. It resulted in wildfires, tsunamis, and a dramatic shift in the Earth's climate due to dust and debris blocking sunlight, leading to a long period of darkness and cold known as the "impact winter."

Probably not. Current evidence suggests that the dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid impact, possibly in combination with an outburst of volcanic activity.

What are 3 pieces of evidence that supports why dinosaurs became extinct due to a comet?
There is strong evidence that an extraterrestrial object impacted near the Yucatan peninsula. There is also evidence that a boundary layer was formed that is rich in iridium. The most plausible origin of this iridium is an extraterrestrial impact. Below that layer, dinosaur bones are present and above that zone there are none. If I had to bet, I'd bet that the comet killed them by the effects of the impact.
