Abstract
When compared to the discovered set of near-Earth asteroids, the Earth impact flux of all known active comets, including Jupiter family comets, Halley-type and long period comets, is below 1%. However, the comet impact fluxes may be higher for those objects large enough to cause extinction level events.
