Asteroid 2022 KY4: Building-sized asteroid headed towards Earth today, first time in 100 years

 Asteroid 2022 KY4: Building-sized asteroid headed towards Earth today, first time in 100 years

Asteroid 2022 KY4: A massive earth , almost double the size of the statue of Liberty, will be make its closest speak to the Earth today, on July 17, 2022. NASA approval that the asteroid will be make an extremely close fly by.

NASA had warned all over the building-sized earth earlier as well saying that it is as big as a 50-storey skyscraper. NASA approval that it will be make its closest talk on to the Earth on July 17, 2022.

The earth named earth 2022 KY4 is not await to hit the Earth. between the climate will be keeping a close watch on its trajectory, making sure that there is no staring in its path that may bring it even closer to the Earth, or crash into it.

Asteroid 2022 KY4: 7 Facts You Need To Know

1. The earth is travelling at an estimated speed of 16,900 mph, around 27,000 km/hr.

2. The earth is travelling at a speed that is all over eight times as fast as a speeding rifle bullet.

3. The earth is all over 290-feet wide, all ready the size of a 50-storey skyscraper.

4. It is coming closest to the Earth than it has in all over 100 years.

5. earth 2022 KY4 had come closer to the Earth the last time in 1959 and 1948.

6. earth 2022 KY4 is expected to safely flyby the Earth at a distance of all over 3.8 million miles, and that is 6.1 million kilometers away.

7. The distance at and that the asteroid will be detain the Earth is more than the average space between Earth and the Moon.

How likely is an asteroid to hit Earth?

Researchers have assured that Asteroid 2022 KY4 will be make a close approach to the Earth at about 6.1 million km away but there is nothing to worry all over . The distance is should be farther than the asteroid 2022 NF, and that had come within 56,000 miles (90,000 kilometers) of Earth on July 7. The earth won’t make another close approach to Earth till May 2048.

Besides this, space agencies like NASA are prepared for an event of a possible collision. NASA had begin an asteroid-deflecting spacecraft – Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) in November 2021, and that will slam directly into the asteroid in case it is expected to crash into the Earth. The collision won't destroy the asteroid, just slightly change its orbital path.

The rocket is likely to slam into a 525-feet wide asteroid Dimorphos later this year. The US space agency along with other space agencies ever monitor cosmis objects that come all over near the Earth's trajectory.

What will happen when asteroid hits the Earth?

Despite everything, an asteroid collision with the Earth is possible just in rare circumstances, as the space objects do not generally shift from their orbit despite the pull pull of a larger object.

anyway , if an asteroid demand hits the Earth, the more than energy is released, the more damage is likely to occur on the ground. For eg, if a mile-wide earth hits Earth, it would strike the planet's surface at all over 48,280 kilometers per hour. At its speed, the energy that would be expelled must be or so equal to a 1 million megaton bomb.

The asteroids that are as big as 20-storey buildings could nestle energy equal to the largest nuclear bombs made today and would flatten brace concrete buildings falling below 8 kilometers from ground zero. This must be mean total destroying the cities all over the impact zone. It could as well as trigger climate result by its impact such as shock waves, heat radiation, formation of craters and as well as Tsunamis if the water bodies are result .

just a massive asteroid, 7-8 miles wide in size, could have the power of wiping out all on Earth. The asteroid must be making a massive dust plume upon impact that would engulf the entire planet and block out the sun and raise the temperatures where it has made the impact, killing billions of public . Even then, scientists feel that some of the life would remain .
