I'd like to know if a comet that size could be pulled apart in Earth's Roche limit, and a comet being a relatively soft body and low density, how much of a difference would it make compared to the density of an asteroid?? I havent seen that show so i wouldn't know....

Is it possible to get Duncan Steel on IIS to elaborate on this??

Cheers!
