Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Summary. There are M-type (metallic), S-type (silicate), and C-type (carbonous) asteroids with the latter being the most common. Depending on their location, asteroids can also be classified into main-belt asteroids, trojans, and near-Earth objects.
Detailed explanation-3: -Comets and asteroids have a lot in common. Both orbit the sun. Both are far smaller than the planets. Both are remnants of the solar system’s formation almost 5 billion years ago.
Detailed explanation-4: -The largest asteroid is called Ceres. It is about one-quarter the size of the moon and orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter in a region called the asteroid belt. Unlike most asteroids, Ceres is spherical in shape.
