Halley's comet hasn't hit Earth yet, and there's no reason to believe it's about to.
It swings by at its closest about every 76th year.
The time it takes for a comet like Halley's to travel from its farthest point (aphelion) to its closest point to the Sun (perihelion) and back again can vary, but generally it takes about 76 years to make one orbit.
It depends on where Earth and Mars are in their orbits. Since Mars takes longer to orbit the sun than Earth does the distance between the two planets varies considerably. When Earth and Mars are closest a beam of light will take about 4 minutes to reach Mars from Earth. When they are farthest (on opposite sides of the sun) a bean of light would take about 12 minutes.
Close to 100%, if you wait long enough.
Too long
There are no known asteroids the size of Texas that have even the slightest chance of hitting Earth. The only known Texas-sized asteroid is Ceres, which has a stable orbit in the asteroid belt and could never hit Earth.
because of earths gravitational pull. why, did you thinkthey hit earth because of cabbages?
The rays from the sun take 8 minutes to hit the earth
They do it all the time.

It varies, but the last shuttle mission hit orbit about 12 minutes after launch.
8 minutes
A long time...
It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to travel from the Sun to Earth. This light speed is about 299,792 kilometers per second.
Approx. 8/9 mins.
