How many kilotons equivalent was this quake again?

re: #118 b_sharp

True, they can’t be directly compared because the exact effects on their surroundings are different. But in terms of energy released is what was being referenced.

That paragraph you snipped in no way deals with IMPACT (does it). My comment was in regards to impact, as in a planetoid that has enough mass to actually make it to earth.

As far as that goes, tons and tons of space material makes it to our planet surface on a daily basic, mainly in form of microscopic space dust.

Are you going to next compare tons of space dust to an impact?

I was talking impact.
