Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Potentially hazardous asteroids are those that have the potential to come close to the Earth's orbit and could potentially collide with the Earth in the future. These are monitored by astronomers to assess any potential risk and to plan for any necessary actions to deflect or mitigate the impact. The other options, killer asteroids, Armageddon asteroids, and Earth-crossing asteroids, are not standard terms used in scientific or astronomical circles.
