    A corgi has a mass of 10-14kg, so assuming a density of an average mammal of ~1g/cm³ would actually give it a volume of 14000cm³. See paragraph three for results. Not good.

        That would imply that the meteor was denser than uranium.

          Let’s say its made of platinum and iridium… What would happen?

            Apart from being too light, it will probably be dense enough so that parts of it will land on the ground. The mass and the (probable) speed will make a decent crater, but for that one would need more data, and a simulation tool.

              Wait is there a crater impact simulator tool?

                I figured you’d just use KSP. 😂
