"Only 6 miles across" it would fill about 1/3 of your entire sky before it hit, if you were looking up. Your last thoughts would be that 6 miles is not small at all! lol
I remember aanother similar programme that said that when the impact occurred, it punched its way through the atmosphere so fast, that it was like having a hole in the atmosphere, as the air didnt have time to close the gap created . So at the impact point and around it, was entirely open to space, along with the freezing cold of zero atmosphere.
The paradox being the asteroid we most need to redirect or avoid because of its massive size is the asteroid we are least capable of doing anything about. We can probably deflect the smaller ones. But a large planet killer? Nothing we can do about it. Nothing.
Once they noticed the effects of the impact, mainly earthquakes, yeah, they were terrified, no doubt. Within 6 hours or so after the impact, the entire planet was shaking, ringing like a bell, with earthquakes as powerful as 11 in some places. (In an earthquake that strong, you'd see the ground literally ripple in waves up to a couple feet high. Standing upright becomes impossible.) They would have stampeded, desperately looking for safer ground, but there was none. While the ground shook, debris from the impact began to rain back down through the atmosphere, heating it over several hours to temperatures far above what they were used to and still climbing. Soon, the temp reached 150°F and animals in the open were dying en masse from the heat. The temperature reached 212°F (100°C). Any animal left out in the open, if it was still conscious, would be roasting alive. The temperature kept climbing until trees and other vegetation auto-ignited (450°F and up). It's unlikely anything in the open was still alive at this point unless it was very low to the ground and scrambling for shelter. Yeah, any critters alive and conscious would have been terrified.
1 mile = 1.6 km 1 short ton = 2,000 pounds = 908 kg Water freezes 32°F/0°C; boils at 212°F/100°C at sea level. Room temperature is roughly 70-72°F, or 21-22°C. A warm day is 85-86°F, or 30°C. A hot day is 100°F, or about 37-38°C. I hope this helps a little. 🙂👍
It wouldn’t be on fire in space, but not due to the lack of oxygen, but the lack of anything. That’s why the ISS doesn’t burst into flames. And it doesn’t „burn“ in the atmosphere, it just heats up so much that everything becomes plasma, which isn’t a flame.
If one blindsided us and hit today, you'd have, at most, a few hours to a couple days notice before you bend over, put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye. If it's one we tried but failed to deflect, we'd have months to years of advance notice and time to prepare.
That depends on its mass, what it's made of, how solid it is, and how long we have until impact. In theory, that would work for a smallish to mid-size asteroid, up to a mile or two wide and relatively solid. It wouldn't work on very large asteroids or on a rubble pile, such as Bennu.
Upon impact, everything in a 500 mile radius is incinerated in seconds. The blast wave starts circumnavigating the planet. Everything up to 1000 miles out is knocked flat or deafened. Massive tsunamis are generated as the sea is pushed out of the way for 150 miles in all directions. Depending on local topography, everything within up to 50 miles of any beach is smashed, drowned and washed out to sea in a matter of hours following the impact. This happens across the Atlantic basin and, to a lesser extent, in the Pacific. The planet rings like a giant bell, causing MASSIVE earthquakes, up to magnitude 11 in some places. By contrast, the strongest earthquake on record today is 9.4, about 100 times smaller. The ground would ripple in waves a couple feet high, making it impossible to stand up. Impact debris starts to rain back down in minutes, with the largest pieces coming down first from fairly low down in the atmosphere, but a lot was thrown into suborbit and starts reentering the atmosphere an hour or so later. Billions of tiny pebbles heat up on reentry, which causes the air column, down to ground level, to heat up to some 500°F or so, causing vegetation to dry out and auto-ignite. Anything caught outside died hours before from thermal shock and burns. Dust from the impact and soot from global forest fires blocks the sun, causing temps to plummet by 50°F once the fires die down. Earth stays colder than normal for about 10 years, until the air clears. Sulfur and carbon liberated from the asteroid and bedrocks combined with water in the air to make sulfuric and carbonic acids. Rain had the pH of battery acid for a few years. Not good.
One of my favorite Far Side cartoons was the one where the punch line read; "What really killed the dinosaurs" with an accompanying picture of dinosaurs lighting up cigarettes. That said, I know NASA has stated that most of the big rocks in the asteroid belt have been cataloged and none are on a trajectory to impact Earth. They redid the math for Apophis and said we are mostly safe from that in the short run. Fair enough, but what about long-term comets from the Oort Cloud? A beast like Hale-Bopp could be heading our way and we wouldn't know it until the tail lit up. Hale-Bopp was 18 miles across. You're not running from that. And there is no technology available for dealing with a rock the size of the dino killer. At that speed all you can do is wait and get ready for a really bad day. I was a kid during the duck-and-cover days of the Cold War and that experience taught me that sometimes sh*t happens and all the kings horses won't amount to a hill of beans. I got chastised for telling my fifth grade teacher I would find a catcher's mitt and make like Johnny Bench at ground zero if the Russians lobbed a nuke at us. My mindset hasn't changed. Even if you are one of the 0.05% to survive a blast like that, what kind of world are you going to be left with? Th other 0.0499999999% of the people left are gonna be a desperate bunch. Nah, you can keep that. So let me know where this thing is gonna hit. I'll be waiting.
Who cares what it means to us? It's not like we take care of each other. We were just as soon piss on someone as look at them. Unless they happen to be on fire.
Are we not getting hit by them on n off ? Unless you are talking about extremely large ones. Then we dont really understand the way the universe works. We keep looking out into the skies endlessly but dont put a finger on anything firmly.
Nope nope an asteriod didn't take out these Large animals the great flood of Noah did it's all in the book of Genesis on how this happened sin got into the world an they became very vicious an would an we became lunch an our heavenly Father had to end it with the great flood if u think other wise then explain to me how the found human foot prints along with them giants that were here with us an that's the truth not millions of years more like 6 thousand years ago read Genesis it'll explain it better then we can Amen
According to Genesis 8:22, the Bible promises that as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. This verse is a repeated assurance of the cyclical nature of the seasons and the earth’s rhythms.
Christianity and the bible belong to a cult, its simple scare tactics, if you dont follow my rules youll go to a very bad place. Except the place doesnt exist, and also if anyone says this place doesnt exist ill send them too, because im better than you so read my book and give me money. Wake up please stop wasting your life.
Yes, this can definitely happen again, not if, but when.
Hopefully soon. This timeline sucks

And yet somehow, apple Music will find a way to take my last ten, and the irs will tax me for my death.
Doesn't it just boggle the mind that something only 6 miles across could just end us? Life is such a fickle thing.
life is a very fragile thing
@@ElizabethAngeskeen3847 Yet here we are.
@@frankfowlkes7872 Yes but the question is for how long. There's so many ways life on this planet can go extinct.
@@ElizabethAngeskeen3847 I agree totally. The mere fact we are here after 4.5 billion years is off the board amazing.

What´s the "temperature of a microwave oven"? Who writes this stuff?

It would be a vast improvement
Aren't you a human yourself? Also not only humans would be killed btw
I thought that the sulfur came from a layer of gypsum (CaSO4) that the impactor hit.
The paradox being the asteroid we most need to redirect or avoid because of its massive size is the asteroid we are least capable of doing anything about. We can probably deflect the smaller ones. But a large planet killer? Nothing we can do about it. Nothing.
Wow. That’s pretty scary. I can’t imagine what those poor dinosaurs went through.
Many of us welcome the thought.
Poor dinosaurs must have been very frightened 😢

@@Booger-u6mgreat explanation.
Sooo much corruption in the world now, sooo many people suffering, its sad. But the corrupt people of this Earth never suffer.
Anyone hoping for an asteroid as of today.
If only
We deserve it.
Nope because the world and America is a much better place now that we have President Trump
what i've learnt so far is that Houston would be the worst place to be if it ever did hit.
Great, but I am not familiar to imperial unit.

I hope this helps a little. 🙂👍
It wasn’t on fire in space though. There is no oxygen. Volatile gasses can burn but not in space
imo certain chemical reactions can release energy and produce heat without flames
Everybody a scientist now

@@DKofDAH another UA-cam scientist
While volatile gasses can combust, they require an oxidizer like oxygen to sustain a fire. Space is a vacuum, so there's no fire
It's great to hear if there is no way for us to survive, so why concern ourselves. 😳
This should be in 4K
It's in 8k on my device

If an asteroid this size hit the Earth today how much notice would we have?
hours to days,until you "notice it personally" if you are on the opposite site of the planet, depending on if it hits water or land
If one blindsided us and hit today, you'd have, at most, a few hours to a couple days notice before you bend over, put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye. If it's one we tried but failed to deflect, we'd have months to years of advance notice and time to prepare.
@@Booger-u6mlmao😂
I already have enough to worry about.
I wonder if crashing like 10 100kt nuclear warheads into an asterioid would work in at least deflecting it.
That depends on its mass, what it's made of, how solid it is, and how long we have until impact. In theory, that would work for a smallish to mid-size asteroid, up to a mile or two wide and relatively solid. It wouldn't work on very large asteroids or on a rubble pile, such as Bennu.
This is NOT an "if" question!, but a *WHEN* ....because there will be another big impact in the future!, question only is when!
Will happen matter of time
The sooner the better.
If I'm still here when this becomes inevitable, I want be at ground zero.
im suprised it hasnt happened yet.
Gamma Ray burst killed the dinosaurs
It's thought by some that a GRB may have caused the Late Ordivician mass extinction event, but this is still debated and a subject of ongoing study.
7:37 100M megatons == 100TT (teratons)...
Well they keep talking about amonamua hitting us 😮
Can you get it right. Its 60 million or 65 million that's 5 million yrs more
End our misseries.
Frying pan to fire, brother. Choose one.
So why did the dinosaurs not just fly one of their planes into it then?
They were on strike. They wanted a pay increase from 3 rocks per hour to 4.
I think we are about to find out in 2029 because apparently one is going to fly by us in 2029 hopefully it really does just fly by us
Pretty sure we will destroy ourselves first.
you know what, you have made the funny question.
If an asteroid hit the earth, then the dinosaurs 🦕 would come back! 😬
Yikes!! Gotta say i would hope to vaporized in the first impact..i mean this entire scenario seems like hell! 😭
