Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Asteroids have nearly ____ orbits around the sun
A
circular
B
elliptical
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Smaller bodies like asteroids lack the mass-and thus the gravity-to pull their rocky surfaces into a spherical shape. The rocks resist the weak gravitational tug and retain the lumpy-looking, potato or dumbbell shapes we see in asteroid photos from spacecraft or Earth-based radar observations.

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: -Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. Although asteroids orbit the Sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets.

Detailed explanation-4: -The gravitational force between the Sun and the other components of the solar system such as the planets, asteroids, comets, etc., causes them to revolve around the Sun.
