Top 5 Most Dangerous Asteroids that can collide with the earth and what are Asteroids made of:
What Are Asteroids?
Asteroids are small and large, rocky irregularly shaped object in space that orbits our Sun. Although asteroids orbit the Sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets. Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the sun. Although asteroids orbit the sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets
what are Asteroids made of?
Asteroids are the rocky object found in Asteroid Belt, the material of Asteroid depends upon how far it is from the sun the Asteroids which are closer to the sun mostly made of carbon with smaller amounts of nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen.
but the Asteroids which are far from the sun mostly made up of silicate rock they are made up of oxygen and silicon
Asteroid Belt facts and whare is Asteroid Belt?
Asteroid belt in our solar system is located between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroid Belt has more than 200 Asteroid which are larger than 60 miles(100Km), our Asteroid Belt contain more than 1.1 to 1.9 million Asteroids which are bigger than 1 Kilometer (0.6 miles) and millions of smaller Asteroids

Top 5 Dangerous Asteroid which may hit Earth:
this is the list of top 5 dangerous potentially hazardous asteroid approaching, this Asteroids may collide with earth
5.Asteroid 1999 AN10:
Asteroid 1999 AN10 is near-Earth Asteroid this is potentially Hazardous Asteroid, this Asteroid is discovered by Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) on 13 January 1999, in the year od 2017 the Asteroid 2014 j025 passed 1.8 Km from the earth orbit it i9s the shortest distance an asteroid passed near to earth orbit past 400 years,
but the Asteroid 1999 AN10(137108) will come much closer than steroid 2014 j025 to Earth's orbit scientists expected that this asteroid 39000 Km(24000 miles) in the year of 2027 August 7th it has a diameter or of 1.1 Km (0.62 miles).
4.Asteroid 2011 AG5(367789):
Asteroid 2011 AG5 is near-Earth Asteroid this is potentially Hazardous Asteroid this Asteroid is discovered by Mount Lemmon Survey (MLS) on 8 January 2011it has a diameter of 140 meters this Asteroid mainly studied by NASA scientists Asteroid 2011 AG5 is expected to collide with the earth on2040 February 5, it is estimated that this impact could produce 100, Mega Ton TNT6 scientists suggest that it hit6s an ocean which turns mega-tsunami or an explosion.
according to the calculation, asteroid 2011 AG5 currently has an impact probability of 1 in 625 that's relatively high figure but NASA is trying to send a mission to deflect the asteroid from the earth's orbit.
3.Asteroid 101955 Bennu:
Asteroid 101955 Bennu is also known as the 1999RQ36, it is considered as the one of the most dangerous asteroid un our solar system it has a diameter of 540 meters where ISS is 100 Meters, Bennu Asteroid it is discovered by Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) on 1999 11th September, scientists estimated that this asteroid will hit the earth in the year of 2182.
according to the study of NASA this Bennu Asteroid have 1 in 1000 chances of actually hitting the earth, it all depends on its trajectory known as yarkousky effecti9f it does not changes it trajectory then it is expected to impact in the year of 2182 exact date is not known.
a group of specialized Astrophysicists from NASA are working to prevent this asteroid the size of Empire State Building from hitting earth NASA is developing a mission to divert the orbit of this asteroid from the earth
2.Asteroid 1950 DA :
Asteroid 1950 DA is near-Earth Asteroid this is Potentially Hazardous Asteroid discovered by Carl Alvar Wirtanen on 23 February 1950.
according to the scientists, this asteroid may hit earth on 2800 March 16th, Asteroid 1950 DA has a diameter of 2 Km (1.24 miles) it is t5raveling 15Km/s relative to the earth following its current trajectory it has 1 in 300 and probably of colliding with the earth if it occurs it will fall in Atlantic ocean at 61155 km/hour (37999.955 miles/ hour), according to the scientists the force of impact is 44800 Mega Ton TNT, although scientists doesn't know how to stop this asteroid they are looking ways to stop it.
1.Asteroid 99942 Apophis:
Apophis is discovered by Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) on 2004 June 19th, Apophis got its name from Greek word Apophis which Enemy of suns good.
according to the scientists it was estimated to be 450 meters of diameter first but then a year later they improved their observation and solved that the correct size of the Apophis asteroid has a diameter of 370 meters after it passes close to earth in the year of 2004, it is expected to pass again in April 13, 2029. in 2006 the scientists discovered that if the impact will happen in 2029 Apophis through its gravitational keyhole and set up a future impact expected to be 7 years late in the year of 2036 April 13, this asteroid can collide with the earth in future.
Apophis weights around 27 billion KG and if it hits the earth it will leave creator that would be 518 meters deep strength of Asteroid Apophis impacts is the thing that worries us the most if it collides with the earth it releases 880 million Tons Of TNT at the same time which would be around 65000 times powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb as such Asteroid 99942 Apophis gets top spot in our list this is that latest news on Asteroid heading to earth.
