<div class="content">I am not sure this will answer all your questions but i will give it a go, please visit: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/as…</div>

<div class="content">I think that there is nothing that I can do about it.</div>

<div class="qa-container">
<div class="content">It will miss because global warming will slow the orbit of the earth and kill all the penguins.</div>

<div class="qa-container">
<div class="content">Nope. We are safe for now. The world will not becoming to an end anytime soon. Although my careful calculations show that the sun will explode about 6:37 AM Saturday 24, est in the year 2,000,000,007, give or take a couple of nano seconds.



I could be off a bit!</div>

<div class="content">what's affica?



and something is gonna hit the earth...america is trying to get canada to join...hell is going to freeze over!! ahhh</div>

<div class="qa-container">
<div class="content">I'm not sure if it will be a giant rock, or nuclear war, or some other ****, but i do believe the world will end within the year 2012.</div>

<div class="qa-container">
<div class="content">False.



With Iran building nuclear weapons, and north Korea already

in posession of them there will probably not be an Earth in

the year 2012...at least one inhabited by mankind.</div>

<div class="qa-container">
<div class="content">Given that the Earth goes around the sun once every year, there is no "behind" the sun, is there?



There is no giant rock, the size of Africa, that will be hitting Earth in 2012.</div>

<div class="qa-container">
<div class="content">No, but there is one that will come within 0.1790 astronomical units of Earth. The asteroid is called 433 Eros. It's a Greek name.</div>

<div class="qa-container">
<div class="content">Absolute idiocy.



Firstly there is nothing that will come close in 2012, and secondly there is nothing in near-earth orbit anywhere near the size of Africa.



Nothing has approached the earth of greater than 10 or 20 kms across in the last 4 billion years, so why would one come now.



It is estimated that it only needs an asteroid 1km across to cause enough damage to bring down civilisation. 10km wide would probably exterminate us. That's all it needs.



Most of the "rocks" detected by Spacewatch are from 10 metres across to a few kms. Most are between the size of a house and a city block.



"Size of Africa" - what a joke. The largest asteroid in the Asteroid belt (nowhere near Earth and never will be) is about the size of Africa. Most are rocks - just that.



Why don't you kids read some real science rather than all this pseudo science you seem to get hold of.



Or just stick to captain marvel comics</div>

<div class="qa-container">
<div class="content">Pfft!



Boy!



Are the "end of the word"ers busy or what?



Look, the closest the world MIGHT end is when an asteroid is due to hit the planet around 2036.</div>
