stadium sized asteroid pass on 24 july: Greater than earth??or not harmful

A huge stadium sized asteroid ( a cosmic body roaming in space) will pass near the earth on 24 july tuesday according to NASA jet propulsion laboratory( tracks object that are close drift to Earth's orbital area )


It will pass near earth with a 64,373km/h speed.the asteroid named 2021KT1 is about 183 metres in size and comparable size to new york olymic tower.


NASA classified this as a " potentially hazardous object " because it is larger than 496 feet ( 151 metre) 


Mostly cosmic objects if enters earth  burn off in the atmosphere without reaching the surface and causing any harm.But some objects are very huge as the mass extinction of DIANASAURS was beacuse of a 6 mile long asteroid. 

NASA is studying various ways by which we can change its direction if it is causing and will cause any harm to earth . One among of these way is called GRAVITY DETECTOR in which a spacecraft using mutual gravity attraction from a satellite to change the path of asteroid .
