P1 The Earth in the Universe IP1.10 What is happening here?

P1 The Earth in the Universe IP1.10 Some things to think about... What kind of objects from space could impact on (hit) the Earth, another planet or the Moon? What do you think happens when something from space hits a planet or the Moon? Which properties of the object from space might determine how dangerous the impact is? List the things that you can think of that might stop such objects hitting a planet or the Moon?
