Asteroid Disaster!
There are 8 full planets in our solar system and 5 dwarf planets.
The planets also have their own satellites, the number of which is said to be more than 200. All of them are revolving around the Sun.
But here it is also important to mention asteroids which, like planets, are revolving around the Sun.
While rotating, they sometimes completely touch the Earth's orbit, due to which there is a danger of their collision.
Yesterday, 5 asteroids surrounded the Earth simultaneously. But fortunately none of them came too close to the Earth.
Asteroid 2023
Along with this another 20 feet asteroid 2023 XT also come within 8.22 lakh km of the Earth yesterday.
Asteroid 2023 XH is a 50 feet large rock that was very close to Earth yesterday.
According to NASA, the largest among these five was Asteroid 2023 Xy which is said to be a 61 feet stone.
