What are astroids?

Answer 1

Many asteroids are in a loose distribution in orbit round the sun, (called the asteroid belt) some of them are in perturbed orbits due to them sometimes getting too close, some extremely so. Occasionally these,(sometimes not much more than odd bits of dust) intercept the earth's orbit just as the earth is passing by and fall to earth as "shooting stars". But if a really big one happened to get caught by the earth the result could be wide-scale destruction, and that would be called a rogue asteroid.

Answer 2

Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter and are remnants from the early solar system. Some asteroids have impacted Earth in the past, with the potential to cause significant damage if they were to collide with our planet.

Answer 3

Asteroids vary greatly in size and are mostly made up of stone, iron and nickel.
