In this video, we'll be comparing the potential destruction caused by different asteroid impacts. From small objects like the asteroid that struck Earth 66 million years ago, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs, to larger objects like the asteroid that struck Russia in 2013, we'll explore the devastating effects that these impacts can have. • We'll discuss the factors that contribute to the level of destruction caused by an asteroid impact, such as the size and speed of the asteroid, and the location of the impact. • Whether you're a science enthusiast or just want to learn more about these fascinating events, this video is a must-see. So grab some popcorn and join us as we compare the destruction caused by different asteroid impacts! • Sources: • https://www.quora.com/How-much-meteor... • https://impact.ese.ic.ac.uk/ImpactEar... • https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswi... • https://www.insurancequotes.com/home/... • https://www.astronomynotes.com/solflu.... • https://jangafx.com/software/embergen... • https://science.howstuffworks.com/que... • Definition: • The term meteor actually refers to the streak of light caused by a piece of space debris burning up in the atmosphere. • The pieces of debris are called meteoroids, and remnants of the debris that reach Earth's surface (or another planet's) are called meteorites. • Meteoroids have a pretty big size range. They include any space debris bigger than a molecule and smaller than about 330 feet (100 meters) -- space debris bigger than this is considered an asteroid. • 1m (3.3ft): • Frequency: 10 per Year • Energy: 47 Tons Tnt • 4m (13ft) • Frequency: 1 per Year • Energy: 750 Tons Tnt • 10m (33ft) • Frequency: 1 in 10 Years • Energy: 19KT Tnt • Same energy released as Hiroshima Atomic Bomb • 20m (66ft) • Frequency: 1 in 60 Years • Energy: 200KT Tnt • Example: Chelyabinsk Meteor in 2013 • 50m (160ft) • Frequency: 1 in 750 Years • Energy: 1MT Tnt • 100m (330ft) • Frequency: 1 in 5200 Years • Energy: 5MT Tnt • Example: Tunguska Meteor in 1908 • 200m (660ft) • Frequency: 1 in 36000 • Energy: 250MT Tnt • Same energy released as Krakatoa Volcano in 1888 • 500m (1650ft) • Frequency: 1 in 100000 Years • Energy: 2.8GT Tnt • Same energy released as La Garita Super Volcano Eruption • 1km (3300ft) • Frequency: 1 in 440000 Years • Energy: 45GT Tnt • 15km • 1 in 150M Years • Energy: 200TT Tnt • Example: Chicxulub Asteroid • Ceres 1000km (620mi) • Energy: 140ET Tnt • Inspired by: Reigarw Comparisons • • Asteroid Collision Power Comparison
