“0.012 m^3^ meteor weighing 400 kg hit Texas”

Boooooring.

I mean, it’s basic knowledge isn’t it? If you know e=mc^2^ you’d better also know (be)^4^=c

AI is a curse...

nah, we understand that a lot of material burns off

That clipping is from a European publisher. Lol

The meteor was, according to NASA, about 2 feet across and weighed 1000 pounds. So their baby elephants are on the lighter side and their corgis are fairly normal size.

I'm going to assume a sphere, 60 centimeters in diameter, and a weight of 450 kg. Volume of the sphere is 113000cm^3^, which gives us a density of 3,9g/cm^3^. That's heavier than most rocks (silicon at 2.3), but much lighter than iron (7.9).

Wouldn’t it just be iron?

According to some searching a banana is 100 - 150 cubic centimeters, while this meteor was .012 cubic meters, meaning roughly the volume of 80 - 120 average bananas (mashed). The meteor weighed 400kg while an (again, perfectly average) banana weighs 100 - 130g. This means that the weight of the meteor is between 3076 - 4000 bananas. So let's call it the weight of 3500 bananas in the space of 100, or roughly 35x the density of your average earth banana. (Lemmy bananaticians or bananologists, please correct me if I did bad math.)

Someone's clearly below average on bald eagles per gunshot fired and, frankly, I think a little jealous.

I hate to be that guy, but

your is possessive.

you're is you are.
