The short answer is no, asteroid Apophis will not hit the Earth, and it's important to get that out of the way early. Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are high-priority research for government agencies This asteroid will spend a significant amount of time near the Earth for the next millennium. may hit the Earth in the next hundred or a thousand years, but if we are to survive long-term, we A huge asteroid the size of around 1,000 capybaras is set to pass Earth on Tuesday, October 3, according to NASA's asteroid tracker.

Planet Earth and big asteroid in the space. Concept a potentially hazardous object (PHO). If 2023 DW were to strike a direct hit on a metro area, it could do some pretty serious damage. This
Based on the probability of breakup, "a 1 kilometer [0.6 mile] thing can survive about 440 million years, [and] a 10 kilometer [6.2 miles] object around 4 billion years" in the asteroid belt
