Most likely not. All bodies in space including asteroids are electrical in nature and electrically charged, and therefore want to avoid one another. When they DO get too close however, bodies discharge electrically. Comets and asteroids when they get too close break up violently due to the electrical stresses inside of them. The vast majority of space rocks when have come entered Earth's atmosphere have detonated long before they hit the surface, and that's the few that make it to Earth - most get destroyed long before they even get close to Earth due to the electric charge from the Sun overloading them.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ All you need to know about comets and asteroids (they are the same thing, the only difference is the size). Massive playlist of highly enlightening information on the subject, all based on actual real science and observations. Suggest you scroll down to the bottom of the playlist and watch them from there, upwards.

Wouldn't gravity play a major part on the attraction to the point of changing its course (I'm illiterate in physics, studying law)?

Also, thanks for the playlist anon, I'm really worried about the asteroid because of my lack of understanding and the media noise about it

Sure, gravity always plays some part. But when it comes to asteroids/comets, I wouldn't say it's a major part. If one happens to get really close to a planet or moon then sure, of course gravity will pull on it.

Don't worry about them. The mainstream media hypes just likes to hype them up and it's easy for them to do due to how they've been portrayed in doomsday movies and so on.

He just told you comets and asteroids are "the same thing" and that they explode because of electrical potential.
He's a resident crank.

He's a schizo poster. Whenever you see a link mentioning electric anything, just steer clear and don't pay him any attention.

Alright, then you must have a better answer. Will this asteroid hit us next week?

If a certain object would come close to a certain distance wouldn't they just bomb it or whatever to steer its path away/

Isn't there a mission to send a probe to an asteroid to try and alter its course?

It's a lot more difficult than movies make it seem. For one you can't just blow it up, all that does is now you have a bunch of medium sized chunks flying at us instead of one xbox huge chunk.
The ideal situation is having a single chunk which you can change the direction of but that still requires a massive delta-v for anything big enough that we would worry about it surviving the atmosphere and causing a cataclysmic event.
