∙ 14y agoNo, scientists have not found any asteroids with a high probability of crashing into Earth in the near future. NASA and other organizations actively monitor Near-Earth Objects and are constantly working to identify any potential threats well in advance to provide adequate time for mitigation strategies.

Asteroids typically take thousands to millions of years to reach the Earth from the asteroid belt. Once in the Earth's vicinity, an asteroid can crash into the Earth at any time depending on its trajectory and other factors.
Asteroid Apophis is a Near-Earth Asteroid that will pass close to Earth in 2029 and again in 2036. However, current calculations show that there is no risk of it impacting Earth during these encounters.
The latest thinking on this subject is as follows: Not all small and sundry asteroids can be stopped from hitting the earth. Those asteroids whose paths and trajectory are fairly known along with their periodicity can be nudged from a collision course to earth by sending a rocket or spacecraft. The proximity of the rocket or spacecraft itself is expected to change the trajectory of the asteroid (in a controlled and calculated manner.) In years to come, science may come up with other additions to this basic concept to successfully deviate the asteroid from its collision course to the earth.
Yes. The last one struck approximately 4.5 billion years ago when Earth was young. The impact resulted in the formation of the moon. More recently, a small asteroid did break up in the atmosphere over Russia on February 15, 2012, with fragments striking the ground.
It won't. Both Jupiter and Earth are in stable orbits, and there is no reason for that to change. In any event, Jupiter is thousands of times the size of Earth, so it would be more correct to say that Earth would crash into Jupiter. Again, this is extremely improbable.
A massive asteroid could crash into Earth
No one knows.
Yes, because the asteroid would crash into Earth and killed people .

No. (At least not this September)
They may happen to cross Earth's orbit, and just crash into it. The gravity of the planets can also help increase the likelihood of a collision.
Nobody knows for certain if a gigantic comet will crash into the Earth or not. However, such an event is very rare and unlikely to happen in the near future.
Yucatan Peninsula
yes, if you do not crash into an asteroid and die immediately
Halley's comet is not predicted to crash into Earth in the foreseeable future. Its next close approach to Earth will be in 2061. However, the comet orbits the sun, and its path does not intersect with Earth's orbit in a way that would result in a collision.
when the astorid hit the earth 65,000,000 million years ago it cover the hole of Mexico in a black fogg and suffercated them with all the gasses in the air
