SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Asteroids are the rocky remnants of material leftover from the formation of the solar system and its planets approximately 4.6 billion years ago. The majority of asteroids originate from the main asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter, according to NASA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asteroids, sometimes called minor planets, are rocky, airless remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago.

Detailed explanation-3: -We now know that comets are leftovers from the dawn of our solar system around 4.6 billion years ago, and consist mostly of ice coated with dark organic material. They have been referred to as “dirty snowballs.” They may yield important clues about the formation of our solar system.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Solar System formed about 4.6 billion years ago when a cloud of gas and dust started to collapse. A disc of material formed around the early Sun, the particles of which collided and joined together, growing increasingly larger and larger, until they formed planets, their moons and millions of asteroids and comets.
