What would happen if an asteroid hit the earth today?- You could survive if you stay underground

An asteroid is not expected to crash against the earth in the short term, but the space agencies are attentive to them.

Depending on the size of the space rock, the impact of an asteroid could be an extinction level event and the researchers have created simulations to see how bad it could be.

What would happen if an asteroid hit the earth?

If you have seen the Netflix movie Don’t Look Up, you may worry the possible asteroid impacts.

However, not all asteroids would mean the end of humanity.

The space rock would have to be quite large to kill us all.

Scientists believe that the asteroid that ended the dinosaurs had about 7.5 miles wide.

If an asteroid of that size hit the earth today, things would change instantly due to the force of impact and its effect on the environment.

Experts believe we would experience fires, shock waves, heat radiation, a large crater, acid rain and giant tsunamis if the asteroid hits the water.

Britt Sccharinghausen, associate professor of Physics and Astronomy at Beloit College, told him to invent: «All the ashes of the fires and all the finest grain debris of the impact will remain in the atmosphere for a long time, and we obtain what is called aimpact winter.

«It will block sunlight, and all that ash that falls to the ocean acidifies the upper layers.

"So you burn things, kill everything in the ocean and freeze the earth, and pass for about two years of constant winter".

Shcharinghausen does not believe that all life on earth dies after the impact of a great asteroid.

Some little creators survived the impact of the asteroid that ended the dinosaurs.

If humans take the appropriate precautions, they may also survive.

Shcharinghausen explained: «Not everything will die.If we are thinking about people, the way to survive would be to go to hiding ».

«Maybe you could endure it in a bunker if you have the supplies to pass that winter period in which you cannot cultivate any edible food.

"Maybe the meticulous crops that humans like to cultivate do not go out so well, but there is that seed deposit, so if they are well protected enough, agriculture could restart».

Plans to save the land of asteroids

Some experts are concerned that the earth is not yet ready to defend against potentially mortal asteroids.

The Spacex CEO, Elon Musk, once generated concern when tweet.

However, NASA is investigating some defense methods.

Recently he launched its double asteroid redirection test mission.

NASA said: "Dart is the first mission dedicated to investigating and demonstrating a method of asteroid deviation by changing the movement of an asteroid in space through kinetic impact".

The Dart ship should crash against a small asteroid called Dimorphos in September with the aim of diverting it from its course.

In other news, NASA has updated its asteroid risk software with some key changes that should help you better detect potentially dangerous space rocks.

NASA has revealed impressive images of a solar flare in action.

And, the US Space Agency.UU.He is planning to launch a poll mission of ‘golden asteroids’ this summer.
