Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Asteroids are solid, rocky and irregular bodies that are the rocky remnants of the protoplanetary disk of dust and gas that formed around our young sun over 4.5 billion years ago. Much of the disk coalesced to form the planets, but some of the debris remained.
Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists believe that asteroids are pieces of rock that were never swept up into planets. Like the planets, asteroids are kept in orbit by the gravity of the Sun. Most of the asteroids in the solar system lie in the Asteroid Belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
