How do meteors get knocked out of the asteroid belt?
Meteors are rocks that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up. They can originate from the asteroid belt through collisions, where the impact can knock them out of the asteroid belt's orbit and send them hurtling towards Earth. These celestial bodies become meteors once they enter Earth's atmosphere and create a bright streak of light as they burn up due to friction.
What do you do once you're accompanied with all three knights in Poptropica?
Find the giant asteroid they're talking about. Look in the asteroid belt in the lower left of the solar system.
Which planets have an asteroid belt in between them?
The main asteroid belt is a rather broad band ring situated between Mars and Jupiter. Its inner edge (and average distance) is closer to the orbit of Mars than the outer edge is to Jupiter, making planet Mars the closest. Note that Ceres, once identified as a planet, is inside the asteroid belt itself - but now classified as a dwarf planet (or the largest astroid).
How many years does an asteroid take crashed on earth?
Asteroids typically take thousands to millions of years to reach the Earth from the asteroid belt. Once in the Earth's vicinity, an asteroid can crash into the Earth at any time depending on its trajectory and other factors.
How did the asteroid belt get into space?
The asteroid belt is made up of remnants of material that never formed into a planet due to the gravitational influence of Jupiter preventing their accretion into a larger body. These asteroids have been orbiting the Sun for billions of years, and are believed to be remnants from the early solar system.
What is one good hypothesis why the asteroids did form a planet?
in between mars and jupitor is the asteroid belt astronomers believe thease lumps of rock were once a small planet that brock up and formed the asteroid belt hundred s of millions years ago
What do you do after recruiting the three knights on Astro Knights Island?
Once you have beaten all three planets and have all three knights with you, travel to the secret asteroid in the Asteroid Belt (down and left in the solar system). The asteroid is at X-11 Y-84.
Between what planets will you find the asteroid belt?
The largest collection of asteroids is found orbiting the Sun between orbits of Mars and Jupiter, This area is sometimes called the "asteroid belt". Think about it this way: the asteroid belt is a big highway in a circle around the Sun. The asteroids are like cars on the highway, except that they are thousands of miles apart on the average. Even so, sometimes the asteroid cars run into one another. When this happens, the asteroids may break up into smaller asteroids. Scientists think that most asteroids are the result of collisions between larger rocky space bodies. Asteroids can be a few feet to several hundred miles wide. The belt probably contains at least 40,000 asteroids that are more than 0.5 miles across. If an asteroid is disturbed by the gravitational pull of a planet, or is involved in a collision, it can be thrown out of the belt and go into orbit as a moon. Some of Jupiter's many small moons were likely once asteroids.
Which planet is the fifth of the sun?
Jupiter. The asteroid belt is not a planet now, regardless of whether or not it once was.
How do you get to the asteroid on Astro Knights Island?
Once you have defeated all three planets (jungle, ice, and fire), and have all three space knights with you, travel to the asteroid belt in the lower left side of the solar system. You will find the Binary Bard's hidden castle on the asteroid at X-11 Y-84.
What are the two theories of the asteroid belt?
That it was once a planet which was torn apart by the gravity of JupiterThat a planet never formed because of the gravity of JupiterTheory 1. is no longer considered.
Is Vesta asteroid a real planet?
It's an asteroid and only an asteroid. A big one at that, second to Ceres (Dwarf Planet) and there is a possibility that it might be added to dwarf planet status in the near future once it's shape has been confirmed.
