SOLAR SYSTEM

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 remnants from the formation of the solar system. They are not spherical and have differing compositions and histories. Most, although not all asteroids, reside in a region between Mars and Jupiter where numerous other small rocky worlds orbit the sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asteroids 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -A small fraction of main-belt asteroids have orbits that cross the orbits of the inner planets. These are called near-earth asteroids, and are a major source of the meteorites that occasionally fall to earth. Asteroids with orbits that approach the earth, passing inside the perihelion of Mars, are called Amors.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meteoroids are what we call “space rocks” that range in size from dust grains to small asteroids. This term only applies when they’re in space. Most are pieces of other, larger bodies that have been broken or blasted off. Some come from comets, others from asteroids, and some even come from the Moon and other planets.

Detailed explanation-6: -Asteroids are small rocky planetoids, while comets are formed of frozen gases held together by rocky and metallic material. 2. Asteroids are found mostly between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars, while comets are found mostly between Venus and Mercury.
