Is Ceres a near Earth object?
No. Ceres has a stable orbit in the asteroid belt.
How many earth days does it take Ceres to orbit the sun?
Ceres follows an orbit between Mars and Jupiter, within the asteroid belt, with a period of 4.6 Earth years.
Is Ceres a moon?
No, Ceres is not a moon. It is the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and is classified as a dwarf planet. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, while Ceres is a dwarf planet that orbits the Sun directly.
How big or small can an asteroid be?
No. An asteroid can be anything from 10 metres to 487km as in the case of Ceres the largest asteroid.
What planet's orbit extends beyond plutos orbit?
Neptune's, at times.
Who discovered plutos orbit?
John Tombaugh
Where are the dwarf planets situated?
There are five bodies currently classified as dwarf planets. All of the except for Ceres are beyond the orbit of Neptune, with their orbits extending into the Kuiper belt. Ceres is the smallest of the dwarf planets, but far closer. It is in the asteroid belt between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter.
The diameter of Pluto and Ceres and Eris?
2.9 AU or 257 million miles from the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Or for astronomy it's to the bottom left of Aquarius (very close to the sun). It's orbit is fairly circular and takes 4.6 years to move along.
What is the orbit SHAPE of an asteroid?
They are all irregular in shape due to their small size and corresponding low gravity. All except for one, called Ceres. Ceres is the biggest one and is just big enough to pull itself into an approximatly spherical shape - it is therefore classed as a dwarf planet.
Can EmDrive by emdrive.com move an asteroid like Ceres and accumulate momentum speed?
A planet like Earth, or a dwarf planet like Ceres, are so enormous that any thrust humans can produce with current technology will not have a significant impact on its orbit.
What is the similarities between a planet or an asteroid?
Ceres has a diameter of 950 km. and a mass of -.95. the closest measurement of the dwarf planets that is closest to Ceres is Pluto. Pluto has a diameter of 2,340 km. and a mass of 13.05. The surface temperature on Ceres is 167 degrees, and Ceres has no atmosphere. Ceres goes in the water frost categorie of planets.
What is an asteroid's orbit?
All closed gravitationalorbitsare ellipses.So the shape of an asteroid's orbit iselliptical.
