[@midknightdragon17]

Happened here in the Philippines a couple of weeks ago, on the northern most part of Luzon, Scientists say size is about 1 meter so it burned up in the air without hitting ground, actually the first 2 clips she showed were the real ones caught on phone video, but i think there's more people who caught it because it was announced a couple of days before its predicted to fall here in the Phils., It looked really cool & frightening at the same time!

When she says length of a guitar, you immediately have a frame of reference for the size of the object. There’s no use for the metric nor the imperial system in this case, she’s trying to quickly and efficiently give information that is easy to digest to the viewer.

I think what she meant for the 100-1000m sizes , would be 99% detected but until it too late like during entering the atmospehere layer , you got like at least 30minutes to warn surface people

[@louisrobitaille5810]

If it's already entered the atmosphere, it's too late. Those rocks move at many kilometers PER second. Like the Chicxulub asteroid (dinosaur one) was estimated at 20km/s. The ISS orbits at 400 km above the ground. That's 20 seconds away for an asteroid like that... If we detected an asteroid at the distance of the moon, we'd have a little over 5h to evacuate people. The biggest problem is the asteroids in the direction of the Sun. Its brightness stops us from detecting anything coming from that direction.

Not really, we've identified 94% of the extinction level asteroids in the solar system, which is a really wide area and almost all of them are nowhere near earth. that remaining 6% are likely far away from earth and not on a trajectory to be a threat at all

I thought only objects in the asteroid belt are called asteroids, anything in earth’s vicinity a meteoroid, a meteor if it enters the atmosphere, and a meteorite if it hits earth’s surface. There’s comets too, but idk if their name changes w/proximity to earth.

[@fulalbatross]

The asteroid belt is just the outer limit for when they're called asteroids, they may very well orbit closer to the Sun as well. Comets originates from the Kuyper Belt and the Oort Cloud, and are generally icy - hence the tail they form when getting closer to the Sun. Distance to Earth doesn't matter. And of course we've discovered asteroids/comets that don't fit neatly within these definitions, but they're very few so far.

[@______IV]

@@fulalbatross : I agree with all that. Sorry if my wording was sloppy. The issue I had was the fact that the video’s creator said something about an asteroid impacting earth. I thought it’s name changed according to proximity to earth like I explained in my last comment. I’m not picking this hill to die on or anything, bc the uses for words do change over time. I was just unaware of those changes if they happened.

[@fulalbatross]

@@______IV Ah, well my apologies as well, looks like I was a little sloppy in reading it too. But meteoroids isn't about vicinity, it's just size of the object. Less than a meter is a meteoroid. (And the smallest ones are micrometeoroids).
