Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Asteroids are irregularly shaped due to less mass and gravitational force
A
TRUE
B
FALSE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike planets, asteroids are irregularly shaped. This is true because smaller asteroids have inadequate gravity to crush their materials and form a more ball-like shape, however, it is important to add that there are of course other reasons besides gravity, why asteroids have different shapes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Space. Each planet, moon and asteroid have their own gravitational pull defined by their density, size, mass, and proximity to other celestial bodies.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. They are a lookalike of the planets, but smaller and often irregularly shaped. Mostly they are composed of a variety of rocks, but some have clays or metal.

Detailed explanation-4: -1) Shape: Meteorites are irregular in shape (not oval or round). Some meteorites show somewhat faceted or flattened surfaces, while a few are cone-shaped. Unless heavily weathered, shallow pits or dimples resembling thumbprints may be seen on some parts of the surface-these are called regmaglypts.

Detailed explanation-5: -(C) Asteroids changes into comet when they come near to the sun. This option is not correct. Asteroids are small, rock type object that orbits around the sun, just like planets but they are not considered as planets because they are very small in comparison.
