Several probes have gone beyond the asteroid belt. No person has done so to date.
Asteroids are their own class of object.
Not exactly. Asteroids and meteoroids fall into the same category of object, the only difference being that asteroids are larger.
The asteroids.

The Sun is the central object in the Solar System; it is orbited by planets, asteroids, meteors, dust particles, and comets.The Sun is the central object in the Solar System; it is orbited by planets, asteroids, meteors, dust particles, and comets.The Sun is the central object in the Solar System; it is orbited by planets, asteroids, meteors, dust particles, and comets.The Sun is the central object in the Solar System; it is orbited by planets, asteroids, meteors, dust particles, and comets.
Just about any object in space will rotate - not just asteroids.

Asteroids, meteors, etc.
For an object such as a planet or moon to have weather, it must have an atmosphere. Asteroids do not have strong enough gravity to maintain an atmosphere.
Current theory is that the asteroids formed along with the rest of the planets, until Jupiter reached its current mass, at which point gravitational resonance caused ejection and/or disruption of most of them.
The sun is a star and planets and asteroids orbit it.
In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.
