Why do meteorites always fall in the wilderness, not the city? Who is protecting humanity?
As we all know, the earth is moving forward in the solar system . It travels in the vast universe all the time without stopping for a moment . From time to time, it encounters some extraterrestrial visitors, such as "meteorites". Meteorite is a kind of celestial material formed after these extraterrestrial visitors hit the earth. Meteorites are generally divided into two types: one is craters; the other is meteorite fragments. Some meteorites are large and some are small. When they enter the earth's orbit, they will rush into the atmosphere, and friction will occur during the landing process. The high temperature directly melts them into small meteorites and falls on a certain corner of the earth . See.
If the meteorite was too big to shrink , it would fall to Earth in a violent collision with the force of a nuclear weapons explosion, flattening a massive crater and extending hundreds of kilometers in all directions . Meteorites are huge and extremely tiny substances with diameters ranging from tens of microns to hundreds of meters, usually spherical or ellipsoid. They travel extremely fast in space, typically more than 100 times faster than us. There were meteorite impacts in the age of dinosaurs, the most serious of which directly led to the extinction of life, leaving the earth in a state of no owner, and slowly evolving into new species over time .
Nowadays , meteorites are often seen falling to the earth, but basically they land in the wild and rarely in cities . Can a meteorite hit a city? To answer this question, it depends on whether you have a high enough hit rate. If you can do this, then the meteorite will definitely fall into the city! Why do you say that? The answer is not so mysterious, just look at the probability of how many cities you have played . The earth is in a state of rotation, and 90 % is ocean, and the land is very small. The probability of meteorites falling from space is naturally small .
And the city is just a small place on the land , other places are wilderness, even if you aim , you may not be able to hit the city . It is not bad to encounter it once in hundreds of thousands of years , which is the same as winning the lottery. Therefore, it is normal for meteorites to fall into the wilderness, but it is not easy to make it a big star. Because meteorites may fly very fast, but eventually fall to the earth. With the development of science and technology and the demands of life , human activity areas are getting closer and closer to big cities , and empty fields will appear in many places . At this time , the probability of meteorites falling on the wilderness is higher .
Moreover , modern technology and military forces are developed, and all countries have specialmonitoring agencies for the outer sky . Once it is found that the location of the meteorite is a city, when it rushes out of the atmosphere , it will immediately shoot missiles to destroy it . At that time, the huge meteorite directly turned into a small stone, which could not produce a deterrent effect. Therefore , the meteorite could not be seen falling in the city. There was basically no harm at all, and there was a certain guarantee .
Generally speaking, the failure of meteorites to hit cities is the result of the condition of the planet itself and human efforts, not claims that someone is protecting the planet, which is also untrue in today's science-loving world. Because meteorites are unfamiliar to us, human research and utilization of meteorites have never stopped. Although the meteorite does not hit the ground directly, it can cause a certain degree of damage. Even if we encounter a bigger meteorite in the future, we believe that humans will use force to destroy it so that it does not fall to the ground and destroy a hard-won civilization. Do you think the horrors of the dinosaur era will happen to us again?
