The impact of a large asteroid or comet hitting Earth's surface is most likely responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. This catastrophic event is known as the Chicxulub impact, which occurred approximately 66 million years ago and is believed to have caused massive environmental devastation, including wildfires, tsunamis, and a "nuclear winter" effect due to the dust and debris blocking out sunlight. This event led to the widespread extinction of the dinosaurs and many other species.
