If a gamma ray was extremely close to the earth could it destroy the earth?
I was wondering, if a gamma ray was extremely close to the earth, could it destroy the earth?
Gamma rays are extremely high-energy electromagnetic waves, and they can be harmful to living organisms. If a gamma ray were to hit the earth, it could cause damage to our atmosphere and potentially harm life on earth, but it's extremely unlikely that a single gamma ray could destroy the entire planet.
