Turiner Skala, comprehensive scales in astronomy

Turiner Skala is a method, the risk of impact of asteroids and comets during close encounters with Earth to assess and communicate by the collision probability and the energy released can be combined into a single value, see the Risk .

To calculate the risk of low-earth orbit by an object is called the Turiner Skala used. This combined with the risk of an impact of the expected destructive force that would cause the impact and then rated each object with a value between 0 and 10, the most near-Earth objects are currently being conducted on this scale with the value 0. However, these reviews regularly change if new information is known about the trajectories of the observed asteroids, meteorites and comets.

These explanations are more detailed Turiner Skala.
