Answer:
Space Science
Notes: The Torino Scale is a system used to rate how dangerous it would be if a space rock, like an asteroid or comet, hit Earth.
Currently, the 2023 DW is the only asteroid that has a rating of 1 on the Torino Scale and all others have 0 ratings. This asteroid’s size is equivalent to that of an Olympic swimming pool. According to the ESA, there is one in 625 chance that it would hit the Earth on February 14, 2046.
