Comment on What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly?

It wouldn’t

Earth’s gravity would make it accelerate from a far away distance and when it would hit, it hit with speeds greater than a bullet.

An entire large island hitting earth at those speeds usually means game over for humanity and maybe even all life in this universe

Not that we’d need any help in doing that, were perfectly capable of doing that ourselves
