Particles in the Atmosphere

When asteroids collide with Earth, they release dust into the atmosphere, which forms micron-sized particle clouds. These clouds can significantly impact the environment by potentially causing various problems both in the short and long term.

A mass asteriod hitting earth could lead to extinction of many different plants and animals.

Could cause tempatures in atmosphere to decrease.

The clouds made from burning asteriods is getting bigger and could cause many other problems.

Dust from the ateriods may be causing more damage towards the ozone layer.

Asteriod dust getting into the atmosphere is causing an micron-sized particle cloud that may cause many problems soon or in the future.
