ITS RAINING METEORS!
Meteors End the World
What even is a meteor?
A meteor is like a "shooting star". It is the visible streak of light from a meteoroid or micrometeoroid, heated and glowing from entering the Earth's atmosphere, as it sheds glowing material in its wake.
The Hit
The atmosphere will be on fire. Fire and debris will tower miles up into the sky. Hundreds of thousands die instantaneously and thousands miles around, everyone outdoors is incinerated and evaporate.
Destruction
The impact will cause many destruction. There will be massive earthquakes, huge tsunamis, and volcanoes popping open. Millions will die from this.
After impact
After the fire extinguishes and seas calm down, there will be a huge black cloud of debris. It will spread through the atmosphere, covering the Earth with thick blanket of burnt carbon, dust and debris. For months after, the sky will be pitch black.
Population
After the hit, there will be a few people still on the earth. But when they come out of their caves or bunkers, they will come out and see an endless winter night. There will be minimal food supply because plants will be dead and in the end so will the whole human race. The only living things will be bacteria and mosses.
Asteroid To Hit Earth In 2036?
Meteors Hit Earth in 2036?
There is a small chance of impact (less than 1 in 45,000 using standard dynamical models) remained for April 13, 2036. Trajectory predictions for asteroids are normally based on a standard model of the solar system that includes the gravity of the Sun, Moon, other planets, and the three largest asteroids. However, additional factors can influence the predicted motion in ways that depend on rarely known details, such as the spin of the asteroid, its mass, the way it reflects and absorbs sun-light, radiates heat, and the gravitational pull of other asteroids passing nearby.
Past History on Meteors
On October 9, 1992, a fire ball was seen streaking across the sky all the way from Kentucky to New York. A 27-pound meteorite from the fireball fell in Peekskill, New York, punching a hole in the rear end of an automobile parked in a driveway. Falls into a Connecticut dining room and an Alabama bedroom are well documented incursions in this century. A 10-meter body typically has the kinetic energy of about five nuclear warheads of the size dropped on Hiroshima, however, and the shock wave it creates can do considerable damage even if nothing but comparatively small fragments survive to reach the ground. Many fragments of a 10-meter iron meteoroid will reach the ground. In the Sikhote-Alin Mountains of eastern Siberia on February 12, 1947 about 150 US tons of fragments reached the ground, the largest intact fragment weighing 3,839 pounds. The fragments covered an area of about 1 x 2 kilometers (0.6 x 1.2 miles), within which there were 102 craters greater than 1 meter in diameter, the largest of them 87 feet, and about 100 more smaller craters. If this small iron meteoroid had landed in a city, it obviously would have created quite a stir. The effect of the larger pieces would be comparable to having a car suddenly drop in at supersonic speeds!
This is Haley's Comet, which orbits near earth every 76 years (last seen 1986). Unlike asteroids, comets are made of ice which, when crossed with the paths of other planets, effectively evaporate before impacting the surface. That being said, comet's are still a vital celestial group of objects to monitor as, if by chance, one does happen to collide with Earth, the damage can be near fatal to all life.
Meteors Being The Reason For Extinction?
There are many theories that are written throughout history of why the dinosaurs exactly were driven into extinction. Most are meteor impact related.
Fires
The combination of the Chicxulub asteroid impact event (causing worldwide fires and environmental catastrophe in association with the Deccan Traps volcanic event, which occurred at around the same time, or possibly as a result of, the asteroid impact event
Plants Dying
Since about 90% of dinosaurs were herbivores (plant eaters), it was thought that when an asteroid hit earth and many tons of dust was thrown into the atmosphere that the result was a "long night" due to the lack of sunlight that was able to reach earth, the plants died out and without a food source, so did the dinosaurs.
