The 15 pages that link to Impact winter, each with the reason it gives.

• Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction eventRelated: Dust and aerosols from the impact likely curtailed sunlight and photosynthesis.

• Volcanic winterCompared with: It resembles volcanic cooling in its sunlight-blocking effect but has an impact-driven source.

• Chicxulub craterRelated: Dust and sulfur-bearing aerosols from the impact likely triggered severe post-impact cooling.

• GradualismBroader topic: It illustrates how a brief event can trigger extensive, rapid environmental change.

• Planetary defenseRelated: Large impacts can threaten ecosystems far beyond the immediate blast zone.

• Planetary atmosphereRelated: Large impacts can abruptly alter atmospheric transparency and planetary climate.

• K–Pg boundaryRelated: Dust and aerosols from the impact could have suppressed photosynthesis and disrupted food webs.

• Walter AlvarezRelated: Atmospheric darkness and cooling offered a mechanism for the extinction’s severity.

• Chicxulub impactorRelated: The duration and severity of post-impact darkness remain subjects of climate research.

• Cretaceous–Paleogene boundaryRelated: Dust and aerosols from Chicxulub likely reduced sunlight and disrupted food webs.

• Asteroid impactBroader topic: A sufficiently large impact can darken and cool the atmosphere, disrupting food webs.

• Chicxulub impactRelated: Dust, soot, and sulfate aerosols from the event reduced sunlight and disrupted ecosystems.

• Luis Walter AlvarezRelated: Alvarez’s hypothesis proposed atmospheric dust and aerosols as a route from impact to extinction.

• Alvarez hypothesisRelated: Atmospheric debris offers a mechanism for rapid global disruption of food webs.

• Vredefort impact structureCompared with: Unlike this proposed atmospheric consequence, Vredefort’s most evident legacy is geological.
