An impact event refers to a phenomenon in which a celestial object, such as an asteroid or comet, collides with a planet, moon, or other astronomical body. These events can have significant consequences, including massive explosions, the creation of craters, and potentially catastrophic effects on the environment and life forms. Impact events are classified based on various factors, including the size of the impacting object, the speed of the impact, and the location of the collision.
