Count, List,
The biggest "asteroid," Ceres is 1,000 km in diameter.
Earth? 12,340 km in diameter or a volume of 1880 Cereses.
Jupiter? 140,000 km in diameter or a volume of 1400
Earths or 2,632,000 Cereses.
Sun? 1,400,000 km in diameter or a volume of 1,000
Jupiters or the volume of 1,400,000 Earths or the
volume of 3,632,000,000 Cereses or the voume of four
trillion 100-km asteroids.
Stars are REALLY big. A trivial impactor like, say, an
asteroid big enough to kill all the dinosaurs on Earth
would hardly be noticeable being swallowed by the
Sun. Might make a ripple....

Subject: [meteorite-list] A Meteor impacted the Sun?
The very large and unique ejection of relatively cool matter off the
surface of the sun today and its falling back to the surface sure
looks as I would imagine an asteroid impact to appear. Think the solar
guys are playing straight with us?
