What is the mass of the largest asteroid?
(The total mass the asteroid belt is lighter than the moon. The total mass the asteroid belt is lighter than the moon.) However; If the total mass of the asteroid belt were reconstituted, it would altogether be less than half of the mass of the moon. But if we consider that if the hot molten interior of a hypothesized planet that might have been the asteroid belt was under great pressure and heat, as are all of the known planets, we could then hypothesize that approximately 90+% of the mass of said hypothesized planet would have been expanded by a factor of at least 1600:1. Possibly more if the interior was superheated. That figure is only if the matter of the interior had the matter weight and density of water. If it were denser, having the same density of magma, then the rate of expansion would be much greater. Possibly as much as 12000:1. So if you take this into consideration, then the asteroid belt could indeed have had a total mass great enough to compete with one of the terrestrial planets
How much does Cerus the asteroid weigh?
Cerus, officially known as 1 Ceres, is the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It has a mass of about 9.4 x 10^20 kg.
Is xena before Ceres?
Ceres is not a planet in our solar system but rather a dwarf planet located in the asteroid belt, while Xena, also known as Eris, is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt. Therefore, in terms of distance from the sun, Ceres is closer as it is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while Xena (Eris) is further away in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune.
What is the gravitation pull on Ceres the Dwarf Planet?
The gravitational pull on Ceres, the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt and classified as a dwarf planet, is much weaker than Earth's. Ceres has a gravitational acceleration of about 0.28 m/s² at its surface, which is about 6% of Earth's gravitational acceleration.
Why did scientists know about Ceres for so long before the other dwarf planets?
The answer to this question can be simplified because Ceres is much nearer than any other dwarf planet in our solar system. Ceres is in the Asteroid Belt which lies between Mars and Jupiter All the other known Dwarf Planets lie in the Kuyper Belt passed and beyond the reaches of Neptune's Orbit of the Sun. Ceres was then (1801) under mathematical scrutiny as to it's very existence and it's orbit was then unknown. Ceres is only 580 miles across but from earth would be much larger visually from a reasonable telescope than say Pluto or any other of the Dwarf planets in the Kuyper Belt. Ceres is the first ever asteroid to be discovered
How much percentage would the mass be if Ceres would suddenly leave the asteroid belt?
The mass would not change!
Is Ida the biggest object in the asteroid belt?
No. The largest object in the asteroid belt is Ceres. Ida is much smaller.

Is there a planet in the asteroid belt?
There is a "dwarf planet", Ceres, the largest object in the Asteroid Belt, and a great number of smaller rocks. (Prior to its reclassification, Ceres was referred to as the largest asteroid.)

How much gravity does the asteroid belt have compared to earth?
The gravity in the asteroid belt is much weaker than on Earth due to its scattered and small mass. Objects in the asteroid belt experience very low gravity, with most asteroids having too little mass to exert a significant gravitational force on one another.
What is the gravitation pull on Ceres the Dwarf Planet?
The gravitational pull on Ceres, the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt and classified as a dwarf planet, is much weaker than Earth's. Ceres has a gravitational acceleration of about 0.28 m/s² at its surface, which is about 6% of Earth's gravitational acceleration.

How much bigger is the sun than ceres?
The Sun is vastly larger than Ceres. The Sun's diameter is about 1.39 million kilometers, while Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, has a diameter of about 940 kilometers. This means the Sun is roughly 1,480 times wider than Ceres. In terms of volume, the Sun is about 1.3 million times larger than Ceres.
Why do scientists refer to it as an asteroid belt and not a planet?
Currently the combined mass of all the asteroids in the asteroid belt is much less than that of any planet, though there were probably many more asteroids in the belt when the solar system was young. One of the leading hypotheses is that gravitational disturbances from Jupiter prevented a planet from forming where the asteroid belt is.
Is an asteroid bigger than Pluto?
No. Pluto is bigger than Ceres. With a diameter of about 2302km, Pluto is quite a lot bigger than Ceres. Ceres has a diameter of about 975km.
