What else can I help you with?
Are there more asteroids or stars?
If you mean asteroids within our Solar System, then stars. In the Universe, there will be many more asteroids than stars.
Besides planets what is in the solar system?
The solar system houses the asteroid belt and the sun, and the outer solar system contains many comets and asteroids, some of them larger than Pluto.
Are all the asteroid in the asteroid belt?
No. Asteroids are scattered throughout the solar system in various orbits, some of which are relatively stable. Some have orbits that pass near Earth. But the vast preponderance of large asteroids are in the Main Belt between Mars and Jupiter. The problem with highly elliptical orbits is that the asteroid will be influenced by the major planets, moons, and the Sun. If its orbit is disturbed, it could be trapped by a giant planet or pulled too close to the Sun. Over the life of the solar system, many small asteroids have been either pulled into the Sun or ejected from the inner solar system by the gravity fields there.
Approximately how many asteroids are in the solar system?
Over 100,000 have been found. However, it is estimated that there are over a million.
Is the asteroid belt located outside the solar system?
No, the asteroid belt is located within our solar system. It is a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where many small rocky bodies, known as asteroids, orbit the Sun.

How many asteroids are believed to exist in our solar system?
The number of asteroids cannot be counted. It is like counting the number of grains of sand on a beach.
Why are there many small asteroids but only a few very large ones?
Well there are actually alot of larger astroids in our solar system, but do to their size, they may move slower or may need more force ro move them around our solars system, because of this they do not appear often unlike smaller atroids which move easily and are more abundent than larger astroids.
Where is the location of the asteroids?
There are three main clusterings of asteroids in our solar system: the Asteroid Belt, the first one identified, which is composed mostly of rocky asteroids, the Kuiper Belt, which contains several dwarf planets, and many icy asteroids, and the Oort Cloud, a theoretical halo of sorts surrounding our solar system, comprised mainly of comets and icy asteroids.

What is large or a solar system or a galaxy?
Galaxy It contains many solar systems
Are there thirty moons in our solar system?
No. There are more than that. There are currently 173 known moons orbiting planets in our solar system and many more orbiting dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets.
What in the solar system is closer to Jupiter than Mars?
The asteroid belt (many of Jupiter's smaller moons are captured asteroids).
How could you describe the Solar System?
Many planets, mini-planets, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids circling around the sun.
Is the asteroid belt located outside the solar system?
No, the asteroid belt is located within our solar system. It is a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where many small rocky bodies, known as asteroids, orbit the Sun.
