Where do asteroids live at?
Most asteroids are located within the asteroid belt which is between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids are also known as planetoids or minor planets.
How do comets meteorites and asteroids differ?
Meteorite is found on the surface of the planet, Comets are also known as dirty snowballs, Asteroids are small rocky bodies.
What are the differences between differentiated and undifferentiated asteroids?
asteroids which have some kind of difference are known as differentiated asteroids and vice versa
What is the name for a band of asteroids?
Some asteroids are considered associated and are called "groups." Most asteroids are not part of groups but are in a "belt" positioned between Mars and Jupiter. Certain zones of gravitional equilibrium can capture asteroids. These zones are known as LaGrange Points. Jupiter, having the most powerful planetary gravity, has several groups at these points. Two of them, because the individual asteroids in them are named after heroes in the Trojan War, are known as "Trojan asteroids." One group is the "Trojan" group and another is the "Greek" group, even though there's an important Trojan in the Greeks and an important Greek with the Trojans.
Can you live on an asteroids?
no..... asteroids don't support life. there is no atmosphere around asteroids which can hold air we breathe . asteroids are rich in minerals and missions to asteroids are being planned in order to mine them
What is also known as planetoids?
The planetoids are also known as planetesimals, as well as asteroids.

Which asteroids and comets are on Mercury?
There are no known asteroids or comets that have impacted Mercury.
What are asteorid's known as?
Asteroids are also known as meteors, shooting stars, falling stars, bolides and comets.
What are the differences between differentiated and undifferentiated asteroids?
asteroids which have some kind of difference are known as differentiated asteroids and vice versa
What are the group of asteroids that may occasionally cross earth?
Asteroids that occasionally cross the orbit of Earth are known as Near Earth Asteroids. Asteroids that both cross the orbit of the Earth and are large enough to pose a significant threat in the event of an impact are known as Potentially Hazardous Asteroids.
Also known as a Minor planet?
Most are also known as Kuiper belt objects (KBO's) or plutoids, except Ceres, which is an asteroid.

Are asteroids known as minor planets?
Yes.
how many total asteroids are there (asteroid belt AND kuiper belt) (also including rogue asteroids that arent in those asteroid belts)?
The total number of asteroids in the solar system is not known with certainty, as many asteroids are small and difficult to detect, and new asteroids are constantly being discovered. However, astronomers estimate that there are millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and potentially trillions of objects in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune. In addition, there are also a number of asteroids that do not reside in either the asteroid belt or Kuiper Belt, but instead follow their own unique orbits. These objects are sometimes referred to as "rogue asteroids," and their exact number is not known. Overall, while the exact number of asteroids in the solar system is uncertain, it is clear that there are many millions, if not trillions, of these small rocky bodies orbiting the sun.
