How much of that would burn up in the atmosphere if it did hit?
- deepakg 3y agoThis video has comparisons of devastation that would be caused by different sizes (around 7:50 mark) of asteroids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wrc4fHSCpw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wrc4fHSCpw
- wheelerof4te 3y agoA lot.
- throwanem 3y agoThe better question to ask is, how much energy would that transfer to the atmosphere on its way to dumping the rest into the planet proper?
- jacquesm 3y agoNot enough.
- vkou 3y agoAs a fraction of the overall asteroid, very little, thanks to the square-cube law.

- hoten 3y agoQuora is pretty much unreadable now. Is the main answer just chat gpt? That's how it seems from mobile view. The page is too noisy to navigate for me.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoQuora has been trash for awhile now.
- gs17 3y agoYep, they've added a ChatGPT answer on top of all the human answers. Although in this case the human answer isn't really better, but it's the fault of the person who asked the question for being vague about the kind of speed they meant.
- kjs3 3y agoHow could Quora suck worse? Rub a little AI on it.
- kjs3 3y agoThe more I think about it, this might be a good thing for the world, and amazingly stupid on the part of Quora. Since the whole Quora shtick is to heavily gamify your experience on the site, perhaps knowing there's always going to be an ML 'summary' above your incredibly erudite reply (/s in case it wasn't obvious) will make most people realize "hey...this place actually does suck" and maybe move on to something better...a life or something.
