: how are comets , meteorites and asteroids so powerful that they are able to completely annihilate their target in a matter of seconds?

Because they’re extremely massive and they’re moving extremely fast. Even a meteor only a few dozen meters in diameter can have a mass of thousands of tons, and are moving at at minimum of a 40,000 kilometers per hour.
Think about how much damage a car crashing into a building causes, and now imagine a rock millions of time more massive than a car *and* moving thousands of times faster.
