Best Answer

The number is uncounted. The problem is that asteroids come in all sizes (up to "dwarf planet," anyway) and the littler ones are undetectible as individuals (we can estimate their combined mass by their gravitational effects). It's kind of like asking, "How many pebbles on a beach?" At what point would someone begin to count grains of sand?
