What if a ten million mile wide meteor hit the Earth?
Could we defend ourselves with enough warning?
What if we take shelter?

answers:
Otis say: It would be like swatting a fly with a nuclear weapon.
-
Raymond say: Solid objects that large (MILLIONS of miles) cannot exist. It would collapse under its own gravity as no matter can hold itself up under that much gravity.
-
Ronald 7 say: I would move to Uranus
We did it before
-
tham153 say: Meteors are defined as objects under 10 meters. Up to 1000 km as asteroids. Ten million miles would be a Giant star. Learn definitions and facts before asking silly questions
-
MARK say: If it was that big it would not be a meteor. I think the answer is obvious. If something that big collided with the Earth that would be the end of the Earth.
-
nineteenthly say: That would be a star. It would be visible now and won't happen because we'd be able to see it unless it was hundreds of light years away.
-
curtisports2 say: That wouldn't be a meteor. There may not be anything in the universe that big. Our sun is approximately 870,000 miles 'wide'.
Anything so much bigger than the planet wouldn't hit the planet. We would hit it. We would be sucked into it by its MASSIVE gravitational force. And there wouldn't be anything we could do about it.
That's assuming it isn't also a sun. We would vaporize before we got within a million miles of it.
-
Starrysky say: Something 12 times the diameter of the Sun is not a meteor. It is a star.
Learn something of astronomy before coming up with ridiculous questions.
-
mokrie say: End of the world. End of life.
-
Anon say: I’d be pretty stoked! Blow my brains out a week or so before the impact.
-
say: < What if a ten million mile wide meteor hit the Earth? >
Nothing would happen to the meteor. The Earth would be squished similar to a bug hitting your windshield while traveling down the interstate.
-
Poseidon say: Yet another stupid question from an idiot troll
-
Tom S say: Even stars don't get that big.
-
Adullah M say: I have never seen a meteor of that size, so nothing of that size hit the earth.
-
busterwasmycat say: it wouldn't hit us, we would hit it, and do nothing to it. destroy us.
-
ngc7331 say: probably not, 10,000,000 miles wide is wider than our sun. the gravity alone would be enough to drag our tiny little speck crashing down onto it's surface.
-
Bill-M say: The sun is not that big.
-
Robin say: what like Jupiter
-
parklola say: Are you stupid?
-
Greg say: Bye bye!
-
Who say: dont be silly
a 10million mile wide meteor dont hit the earth
the earth just gets in its way
(if a truck hit you on the street - would you say YOU hit the truck? , or would you say you got in the truck's way?
-
john say: If the Earth is 7.5 k miles and your meter is 10 million miles what do you think? Should we transfer ourselves to a sun sized piece of stone and iron?
Heck no....RUN!!!!!
-
poldi2 say: A 10-million mile wide asteroid is a LOT bigger than the planet Earth, so we could not defend ourselves. If it hit, the Earth would be vaporized, so taking shelter anywhere on or in the Earth would be useless.
-
Zardoz say: A ten million mile wide meteoroid is not physically possible.
A meteor is a streak of light in the sky.
-
Grundoon say: A six mile square meteor caused the ice age.The earths circumference is 24,000 miles. Earth would not slow down your "Meteor" at all
