Impact Hazard

An impact hazard refers to the risk posed by objects, such as asteroids or comets, colliding with Earth. These celestial bodies vary in size, and their impact can cause significant damage, including widespread destruction, injuries, or environmental effects. Scientists study these hazards to identify potential threats and develop strategies to prevent or mitigate impacts. The level of danger depends on factors like size, speed, and impact location. Understanding impact hazards helps us assess risk and prepare contingency plans to protect life and property from potential celestial collisions.
