What else can I help you with?
What orbits in the asteroid belt?
The asteroid belt is between Jupiter (on the outside) and Mars (on the inside). All the planets inside the orbit of the asteroid belt are called rocky planets.Jupiter and Saturn are called gas giant planetsand the rest are called ice giants.
Is Neptune in or outside of the asteroid belt?
There are no planets in the asteroid belt. Neptune's orbit is farther from the sun than practically all asteroids are.
Do all the terrestrial planets lie inside the asteroid belt?
Current thinking is that the Asteroid Belt never constituted a single terrestrial body in the past; for whatever reason, there was not enough mass in the Belt for the matter there to accrete into a single body, as happened in the case of Earth or Mars, e.g.
What two major groups are the planets broken into?
There aren't really two groups but All the planets before the asteroid belt (mercury Venus Mars and earth) are rocky planets and all the planets after the asteroid belt (Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune) are gas giants.
Why do they call some planets Inner and Outer planets?
The inner and outer planets are broken up by the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are "inner planets" because they are on the side of the asteroid belt closest to the sun. All other planets are considered "outer planets".
Is Venus's a rocky planet?
yesThe planets which are closer to the Sun than the asteroid belt are all rocky planets (Mercury, Venus, earth and Mars). Those beyond the asteroid belt are all gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune).
What do the five outter planets have in commmon?
They are all beyond the asteroid belt. They all have a %composition of ice due to the distance they formed from the sun. Planets inside the asteroid belt have no ice composing their structure (the planet itself is not made of ice) as it was too warm when they formed. If we neglect Pluto they have a lot of things in common, however Pluto and Charon are keiper belt objects and are very dissimilar to the gas giants
Is asteroid belt is a inside or a outside?
The Asteroid Belt is located inside our solar system and inside the Milky Way galaxy,. But all of the above mentioned are outside, as meaning "not inside" haha,. Hope I could help The asteroid belt is between Mars and Jupiter.
Is the moon inside or out the asteroid belt?
The asteroid belt is shaped like a donut. The earth and moon, mars, venus, mercury and sun are all in the hole in the middle.
Is mercury inside or outside the asteroid belt?
Inside. Mercury is the planet nearest the Sun. It is the smallest of all eight planets and is the second hottest. It travels the fastest around the Sun according the Kepler's Third Law (square of the semi major axis [radius of orbit] divided by the Orbital Period cubed).The asteroid belt is situated between Mars and Jupiter and is believed to be the remnants of the rocky heavier elements that formed the inner four planets 5 billion years ago.It's in the asteroid belt because it's closest to the suninside
Which planets hold a belt between mars and Jupiter?
The asteroid belt is between mars and Jupiter and no planet holds it in position it's actually orbiting the sun it best imagined looking at Saturn with the planet being the sun and the moons the planets and the rings the asteroid belt it's all the planet.
Why are some planets referred to as the inner planets and others as the outer planets?
Because the four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are the four planets closest to the sun. These smaller planets are all inside the asteroid belt. The larger planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are outside the asteroid belt and thus called the outer planets.
