Phobos and Deimos are the names of Mars'?
The moons of Mars. They have an irregular shape and look similar to the asteroids in the asteroid belt. That is probably where Mars got them.
Why do asteroids have asteroid craters in them?
They have crater's in them because they collide with other, smaller asteroids or space debris on it's orbit and, because it was the bigger one of the two, comes away in tact with a scar (the crater).
One hypothesis to explain what asteroids really are?
Answer 1: Asteroids are formed by the collision of two planets breaking each into small pieces and floating off into space Answer 2: Asteroids are formed when planets are absorbed and crushed inside a black hole. The pieces of the planet are then ejected from the backend of the black holes into space as asteroids.
HOW DO ASTEROIDS AND COMETS DIFFERS?
A comet is a large chunk of ice and rock (sometimes you can find iron there, too) with a large tail of ice. Comets are usually relatively small, and some can be formed from a collision between two asteroids. Comets, if they come in contact with Earth, usually are melted to pebbles from the atmosphere. Asteroids, on the other hand, differ greatly in size. They can be as small as a pebble or as big as a city. They are what astronomers and scientists worry about the most. After all, a large enough asteroid destroyed the dinosaurs. Asteroids have no tail of ice, and have no ice at all. They're made of solid rock and iron. Asteroids and comets have many things in common. They're considered space debris from collisions. They smash into planets and cause impacts. They both are made or rock - and sometimes iron - and dance around through deep space doing nothing at all.
Are asteroids made of iron and nickel?
Some asteroids are. Most are composed of a mixture of silicate minerals. Others are a mixture of the two.
Where does the rocks come from on saturns rings?
They are from bigger asteroids. Two big asteroids crash into each other and little pieces come off the big asteroids.
Phobos and Deimos are the names of Mars'?
The moons of Mars. They have an irregular shape and look similar to the asteroids in the asteroid belt. That is probably where Mars got them.
How does the earth get impact by the asteroids?
When the two orbits intersect, they will collide. Most asteroids are in orbit around the Sun, as the Earth is. They seldom cross paths, making an impact pretty rare. Most asteroids are large enough to easily make it through the Earth's atmosphere.
What are the Two main substance asteroids are made from?
Asteroids are primarily rock and ice
What would happen if two asteroids got captured in each others gravity?
By definition, asteroids tend to small objects, Being small they have little or no attraction to or from other asteroids. Gravity only comes into play for much larger objects.
Why do asteroids have asteroid craters in them?
They have crater's in them because they collide with other, smaller asteroids or space debris on it's orbit and, because it was the bigger one of the two, comes away in tact with a scar (the crater).
What are two other names for FireWire?
IEEE 1394 and i.LINK. Two other names for "Firewire" are IEEE 1394 and i.LINK.

What are the names of two large cities in Kansas?
Wichita and Overland Park
Why doesn't asteroids have moons?
Some asteroids do in fact have moons. The asteroid Ida has a moon, Dactyl, which was found when the space probe Galileo flew past on the way to Jupiter. Two asteroids that are roughly the same mass would be a binary asteroid, while a large disparity in mass means the smaller one is a moon of the larger one.
What are two differences between comets and asteroids?
there is no answer
What is two more names for a key?
The two other names for the key in basketball is the lane and the paint
