What is third largest asteroid?
According to the US naval astronomical applications department the 3rd largest asteroid body is called 4 Vesta. Ref: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/asteroid_masses Actually, they do not know what the largest asteroid is since Pallas and Vesta both have been designated as the second largest asteroid after Ceres, which is no longer an asteroid. Since Ceres is a dwarf planet now, Pallas or Vesta is the largest now. Since Ceres is a dwarf planet, the third largest asteroid is Hygiea now. Pallas and Vesta are the top two largest asteroids now. Vesta is more massive than Pallas, though.
What is the name of the biggest asteroids?
Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea are the 4 largest that have been named within our solar system.
Has anyone ever been to Ceres?
Because it is an interesting (not so little compared to the other main-belt asteroids) world where you may find many strange things. Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea are also intresting worlds to visit in the main-belt, but they are a bit smaller than Ceres. Vesta, Ceres, Pallas and Hygiea are the four largest MBA:s.

What separates the inner plants from outer?
The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, which also contains some dwarf planets such as Ceres, Pallas, and Vesta.
What is the second biggest asteroid in the solar system?
By mass, this would be Pallas (2 Pallas), the third most massive object in the Main Belt.The largest asteroid was Ceres, now considered a "dwarf planet" (the only one inside the orbit of Neptune). That would make Vesta (4 Vesta) and Pallas the largest of the remaining Main Belt asteroids. They are similar in size (diameter 530-565 km) but Vesta is slightly more massive.Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygeia are the four largest objects and contain more than half of the total estimated mass of the Asteroid Belt.
What is the asteroid belts mass?
The mass of the asteroid belt is around 3.0 -> 3.6 ×1021 kilograms.Over 50% of that mass is contained within four objects:- Ceres, Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea
Did Pluto the roman god have any sisters?
The three daughters of Saturn are Juno Vesta Ceres

Ceres, now classified as a dwarf planet, is by far the largest asteroid.If Ceres is not considered, the asteroid Vesta, about 1/4 the mass of Ceres, is the largest asteroid. Both these and most other larger asteroids are located in the main Belt between Mars and Jupiter.
