- The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) of NASA has revealed that five Asteroids are going to pass by the Earth.
- The asteroids, also known as space rocks, that will pass by Earth are 2020 KF, 2020 KE4, 2020 KK7, 2020 KD4, and 2020 KJ1.
- The Asteroid 2020 KE4 is expected to burn out in the atmosphere.
- Asteroids and Comets are the Near-Earth objects (NEOs) that orbit the Sun.
- While they orbit, they come closer to Earth within a distance of 30 million miles of orbit of the Earth, which makes them near-Earth object.
- Asteroids are usually formed in the warmer inner layer of solar system within the orbits of Jupiter and Mars.
- On the other hand, Comets are formed in the cold outer solar system.
