Detailed explanation-1: -Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the sun. Although asteroids orbit the sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets. There are lots of asteroids in our solar system. Most of them live in the main asteroid belt-a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asteroids are rocky, airless worlds that orbit our Sun. They are remnants left over from the formation of our solar system, ranging in size from the length of a car to about as wide as a large city. Asteroids are diverse in composition; some are metallic while others are rich in carbon, giving them a coal-black color.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asteroids are the rocky/dusty small bodies orbiting the sun. Meteorites are pieces on the ground left over after an asteroid breaks up in the atmosphere. Most asteroids are not strong, and when they disintegrate in the atmosphere they often produce a shower of meteorites on the ground.
