Hola, iam Rosanne Schut, Don’t worry, it’s one day closer to the weekend.
Wow, what a shocker! Pallas, an asteroid estimated to be about 330 miles in diameter, recently hit Earth. Talk about a close call! It’s not every day that something of this magnitude happens. Thankfully, the impact was minor and no major damage was reported. Still, it’s a reminder of how vulnerable our planet is to cosmic events like this one. Let’s hope we don’t have another near miss anytime soon!
What If 2 Pallas Hit Earth? [Solved]
Well, you don’t need me to tell you that an asteroid like 2 Pallas or 4 Vesta would be a real doozy! Both of these bad boys are over 300 miles (482 km) wide, which is more than enough to boil away the Earth’s oceans and turn it into a barren wasteland - just like Mercury.
Impact Event: Pallas, a large asteroid, collided with Earth approximately 4.6 billion years ago. This impact event is believed to have been responsible for the formation of the Moon and the creation of Earth’s oceans.
Size: Pallas was estimated to be between 200 and 500 kilometers in diameter, making it one of the largest asteroids known to have impacted Earth in its history.
Location: The exact location of the impact is unknown, but it is believed to have occurred somewhere near present-day India or China.
Effects: The collision caused a massive shockwave that triggered earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the world, as well as an increase in global temperatures due to debris thrown into the atmosphere by the impact event.
Legacy: The effects of this collision are still felt today; for example, many scientists believe that Pallas’ impact was responsible for creating Earth’s moon and its tides which affect our climate today
Wow, Pallas really hit Earth! It was a huge impact that shook the planet. Thankfully, it didn’t cause too much damage, but it sure made its mark. We’ll be talking about this one for a while!
