What if asteroids ever hit Earth? Know mind-blowing answer from NASA

Do you remember those scenes from Sci-fi flicks, when space objects fall from the sky on Earth? What if that happens in real life! What if asteroids collide with our Earth? Intimidating feeling, right! Still, let us not put our smarts into the imagination mode, becauseDr. Kelly Fast, the planetary defense expert and a director of NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office has an answer grounded on sense that should put your mind at ease to an extent. She looks at the reality and maps the trends to come up with a rational answer that puts effects in perspective regarding asteroids.

 “ Yes, asteroids have hit Earth over the course of its history, and it\'ll be again,”Dr. Fast said. She further clarified that meteoroids collide with Earth all the time. But they\'re veritably small. You must have seen shooting stars, those are meteors, which are the disintegrated patches of space accoutrements.

“ But impacts of asteroids that affect the face are important rarer and be on time scales of hundreds to thousands to millions of times,”Dr. Fast said about the impact of asteroids colliding with the Earth\'s face. According to the space agency NASA, small size asteroids can be detected passing towards Earth several times a month. Meteoroids, which are veritably small pieces of an asteroid and comets are generally lower than 3 bases in size and they can hit and explode in the atmosphere of the Earth. In fact, it happens nearly every day.

Dr. Fast farther explained that chancing the asteroids which may pose a trouble to Earth as beforehand as possible is critical. If this early warning is entered way can be taken to limit the damage. Mitigation against a unborn impact can also be allowed of and acted upon. Well, the good news is that larger asteroids are vastly further easier to detect than lower bones, and our solar system has lower of these larger asteroids.

Coming forthcoming Asteroid that are approaching

1. 3361 Orpheus (1982 HR), the 1600 ft size with the closets earth approach of KM

2. 2021 VW5 named asteroid of the approximate size of 53 Bases anticipated with the closest earth approach km

3. The 2021 VQ26 named aeroplane-sized asteroid with the approximate size of 170 bases is anticipated to come near Earth with on November 22

Still, don\'t sweat, these asteroids do not pose any trouble or hazard to humans on Earth.
