      It would have to be huuuuge for you to feel it. If you did feel it, it would be by vibrations through the earth, like when you can feel when someone drops something heavy near you. It wouldn’t be looking very good for the planet if you could feel it though!

      Depends on the size of the meteor…if it is really huge, you would feel vibrations. In order for a meteor to wipe off the life on our planet, it is estimated that it has to be 60 miles wide.
