In this paper we discuss the characteristics of possible collisions of the asteroid Apophis with the Earth. We use the initial conditions published in mid-January 2021 (the nominal orbit NASA), i.e. new observations for Apophis. Estimates of the probability of collisions of dangerous asteroids with planets and the Moon were obtained using the Monte Carlo method.
