When did the asteroid hit the earth?

On April 13, 2029, the asteroid Apophis will fly over the earth at an altitude of 30,000 kilometers. In contrast, the orbital height of geosynchronous satellites is 36,000 kilometers. At the nearest distance, this asteroid will be as bright as a third-class star. Even under the city lights, it is visible to the naked eye in Africa, Europe and Asia. No one has seen such a bright asteroid in space since records began.

Scientists predict that in 2029, when Apophis whizzes past the earth, the earth's gravity will twist the celestial body into a complex state of rotation and swing, and the torque generated by gravity may also tear Apophis.
