Are asteroids that impact Earth dangerous?
According to scientists, there are continually asteroids that pass near the Earth, but only some impact the planet. These bodies are of various sizes, however, so far none have been dangerous to humanity.
NASA explained that an asteroid is considered potentially dangerous when it is more than 150 meters in diameter and approaches the planet in less than 0.05 astronomical units, equivalent to 7 million 480 thousand kilometers.
