Well the one that killed the dinosors was obviously brutal. If it killed a tyranusaurus rex, then what can it do to us???
**The tyranosaurus rex was entirely depenedant on eating other creatures. Humans are much better equiped than a T-rex. Humans would have a higher chance of surviving.**
Answer:
Asteroids do varying amount of damage depending on their size. Large asteroids like the one that caused the Chicxulub crater in Mexico (the one that is believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs) are so powerful they could probably cover the entire planet in debris and throw so much dust into the air that it would block out sunlight. Thus causing an ecosystem collapse. However some are much smaller. Some are so small they burn up in the atmosphere or cause very little damage.
An asteroid impact can have significant effects on Earth, including causing widespread destruction, tsunamis, wildfires, and a "nuclear winter" effect due to dust blocking sunlight. It can also lead to mass extinctions and long-term changes in the climate and ecosystems. Additionally, asteroid impacts can release energy equivalent to large nuclear explosions and create craters of varying sizes.

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 consequences can result from an asteroid impact?
Many things can happen if an asteroid hit the earth. Here is a list of a few consequences. There could be an explosion when the asteroid hits the earth. There could also be a tsunami if the asteroid landed in the water. Another possible consequence is a global firestorm. Another possible problem is Acid Rain. The last and final problem from this small list is temperature effects.
Is the the moon part of the earth or an asteroid?
Theory suggests that it is a remnant of a large asteroid that struck the Earth

No, an asteroid cannot destroy earth, but a large enough asteroid can have devastating effects on the life on Earth
What effect does an asteroid have on the earth?
Virtually no effect, unless it strikes the Earth, in which the effects could be catastrophic.
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.

The last and final problem from this small list is temperature effects.
Is a collision possible between the earth and an asteroid?
Yes, if the asteroid is captured by the Earth's gravitational pull.
Will an asteroid will hit Earth this week?
Probably not. I haven't seen any news about an asteroid about to strike Earth.
Is the the moon part of the earth or an asteroid?
Theory suggests that it is a remnant of a large asteroid that struck the Earth
Is earth in asteroid belt?
No.
WILL AN ASTEROID HITS THE EARTH?
Technically, if it hits the Earth it's not an "asteroid", it's a "meteorite". And yes, meteorites hit the Earth all the time.
How will the world be when the asteroid falls on earth?
Which asteroid? depending on its size, an asteroid impact could be devastating for life on Earth, though life would recover somehow eventually.
Can a asteroid damage a planet?
An asteroid can indeed damage a planet when it strikes it. It is possible that an asteroid strike resulted in the dying off of the dinosaurs on Earth. There are certainly some large craters on Earth that are suggestive of asteroid strikes.
