H. Making A near-Earth object (NEO) is any small Solar System body whose orbit brings it into
generalizations and proximity with Earth. They include about thirteen thousand near-Earth asteroids (NEAs),
abstractions about more than one hundred near-Earth comets (NECs), and a number of solar-orbiting

It is now widely accepted that collisions in the past have had a significant role in shaping
( ELABORATE 2 ) the geological and biological history of the planet. NEOs have become of increased
interest since the 1980s because of increased awareness of the potential danger some of
the asteroids or comets pose to Earth.
