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."

Can an asteroid destroy the earth?
No, an asteroid cannot destroy earth, but a large enough asteroid can have devastating effects on the life on Earth
The earth been destroyed by a asteroid?
No, if the Earth was destroyed by an asteroid we would not be living today.
Is the earth inside the asteroid belt?
Yes, the asteroid belt starts properly after the orbit of Mars.
What effect do asteriods have on earth?
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.

What effect did the asteroid hitting earth have on it?
It all depends on the size of the asteroid and the speed. When an asteroid about 6 miles in diameter slammed into the Gulf of Mexico 65 million years ago, it killed off every large lifeform on Earth, including all of the dinosaurs.

Where did the asteroid hit earth?
