There are multiple types of asteroids based on their chemical composition and reflectiveness. The three most common are C-type, S-type, and M-Type. There are also more than a dozen very rare types.

There are three different types of asteroids: carbonaceous (stony and darker than coal); silicaceous (bright, stony bodies which contain metal), and metallic (exposed metallic cores of much larger bodies). The asteroids made mostly of carbon and minerals containing water are found mostly in the Outer Belt of the Asteroid Belt.
