Detailed explanation-1: -Asteroids, sometimes called minor planets, are rocky remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Most of this ancient space rubble can be found orbiting our Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt .
Detailed explanation-2: -The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, centered on the Sun and roughly spanning the space between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asteroids are located between the planets Mars and Jupiter in a region known as the Main Asteroid Belt. It consists of millions of asteroids with size ranging from as small as a grain of dust to as large as the Mount Everest or even larger.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Hoba meteorite weighs roughly 54, 000 kilograms (119, 000 pounds). The Hoba meteorite is so big, and so heavy, it has never been moved from where it was found!
