Is there one knows. Why there is the possibility that shocks the asteroid to earth
I know the speed of the asteroid is very high and the size is enough ,to distory the big part of eath and he heading to Earth
But what a nothers the reasons to shocks ?
Why not proceed in a stable ?
Why there is the asteroid such as this?
If anyone know please help me I'm intersting in this
You seem to be having a problem with English, "shocks the asteroid to Earth" doesn't make any sense. If you are trying to ask what causes asteroids to strike the Earth, there are large numbers of asteroids out in space in such places as the asteroid belt, and every so often they bump into each other, leave their normal orbit and will head to Earth as a result.
"Why not proceed in a stable" doesn't make sense, a stable is a place where animals are kept, I am not sure what you are trying to ask.
In addition to the asteroid belt, there are all kinds of objects flying around in space all the time. Tons of matter fall on the Earth every day. Every so often, a massive object strikes the Earth and causes massive destruction. While this happened on a frequent basis when Earth was new, it is a rare occurrence now. But it will happen again and I hope we will have developed the technology to do something about it by that time.
Asteroids are said to be rocky or metallic objects that were left over when the planets formed and may also be objects expelled into space by collsions of large objects with planets or moons.

If you mean stability, then I'll answer this: nature is made like that. For example, when you hit a ball, the energy is transferred from your foot to the ball. The ball doesn't go smoothly but with a certain force or shock as you call it. The asteroids come to Earth at great speed and you can imagine the amount of energy it has... Together with that energy, there is friction, which makes the asteroid burn and make more damage. The rest, jimgunther has already answered about the provenance of asteroids and meteorites.
The earth could have been more 'damaged' by asteroids if there was no moon. You can see some of the moons scars at night and guess what it has endured.
While most asteroids in our system are in a stable orbit between Mars ans Jupiter due to gravitational forces of the planets, some are in more elliptical orbits with a long period and eventually may cross Earth's path. A couple have in the past decade or so, one closer than the Moon. Collisions can also knock them out of orbit, but it could take centuries or more for it to deviate enough to cross us.
Comets come from far beyond the planets we know. Their orbital paths take them on a very long trip from decades to thousands of years. Occasionally, gravitational forces from the planets, esp Jupiter, alter their paths when they get too close. This can cause them to veer in Earth's path. It's believed by many that it was a comet that caused the destruction at Tunguska in Siberia in the 1920s. In the 19190s, we got a good look with Hubble at Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 broke up due to the pull of Jupiter's gravity and plowed into Jupiter's atmosphere.

Hello dolly ! : let me reply to your questions line by line :
The possibility is 100%. The only question is when. It can be tomorrow, next week, next year, or a million years from now. But it will happen again. The solar system is full of debris, and there is so much of it that some of it will hit earth for sure. Daily tons of space dust hits the earth. The bigger the pieces, the less of them exist that can hit earth.Quote:

There are still millions of pieces of big debris floating around in the solar system.Quote:

That is all debris from the original cloud from which the entire solar system was formed.
Does that answers your questions?
