If a large asteroid were to hit the earth…?

I don’t know how fast asteroids travel, so lets just say it’s moving at an “average” speed and it’s large enough to wipe out all life on earth. Would this asteroid be visible to the naked eye for any significant amount of time before impact? Hours, days, weeks? Nighttime only, or daytime as well? I’m doing research for a sci-fi story and can’t seem to find an answer to this. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

What’s the name of this movie?

It’s about a lady who’s trying to get to somewhere in the united states to destroy an incoming asteroid/meteor from hitting earth, the movie is called meteor or asteroid im not sure and the movie wasent made that long ago, about 2 or 3 years ago but does anybody know what movie I’m talking about an does anybody know whats the real name of that lady? And it’s not deep impact, it’s a 2 part movie that came out on tv a few years ago

only for political expertise.why not to explain to the usa citizens about the real situation ?

i use to see the control with the information in the usa,but until now,nobody explain to the citizens the impact of a negative answer,i agreed about the borders security,but nobody explain the main reason if there is negative answer to the immigrants inside,i know that reason,but i think that some politicians are afraid to explain the economical impact of such decision,the communism will control more the intern. trade and at the end the usa will need to deal through china or the europe community,right now there are countries turning back to the usa,i do not get that nobody explain that the influence is power,so more enemies less influence.china has strong ties with russia,arabian countries etc…the europe community do not want anything with the usa,so why not to explain to the citizens that the world spinning through the trades and political sciences.this is not about feelings it is about to survive the globalization.

Who should decide if an asteroid needs to be nudged away from impact?

If we discovered an asteroid was going to impact earth BUT it would only likely cause regional damage (ie not a global killer) who gets to decide to take action against it?

Ramifications: Get it wrong and it strikes somewhere else on earth – becomes someone elses problem!
