Which planet is coming to Earth?

Sometimes, like today, for example, the closest planet to the Earth is Mars. The smallest possible distance between us and the Red Planet is 33.9 million miles (although the next time Mars will be that close to us is in the year 2287). In 2020 Mars will make its close approach to the Earth on October 6.

What time will the asteroid pass?

According to Earth Sky,”Closest approach to Earth will occur on August 21, 2021, at 11:10 a.m. ET (8:40pm IST). This means amateur astronomers with 8-inch telescopes (or larger) have an opportunity to see this asteroid glide by early on August 21, just hours before sunrise.”

How big is an asteroid compared to the Sun?

A Near-Earth Object (NEO) is generally defined as an asteroid or comet that approaches our planet less than 1.3 times the distance from Earth to the Sun (the Earth-Sun distance is about 93 million miles). Most NEOs pose no peril at all.

What makes an asteroid a near Earth object?

A Near-Earth Object (NEO) is generally defined as an asteroid or comet that approaches our planet less than 1.3 times the distance from Earth to the Sun (the Earth-Sun distance is about 93 million miles). Most NEOs pose no peril at all. It’s the small percentage of Potentially Hazardous Asteroids that draws extra scrutiny.
