What is the name for a band of asteroids?

Some asteroids are considered associated and are called "groups." Most asteroids are not part of groups but are in a "belt" positioned between Mars and Jupiter. Certain zones of gravitional equilibrium can capture asteroids. These zones are known as LaGrange Points. Jupiter, having the most powerful planetary gravity, has several groups at these points. Two of them, because the individual asteroids in them are named after heroes in the Trojan War, are known as "Trojan asteroids." One group is the "Trojan" group and another is the "Greek" group, even though there's an important Trojan in the Greeks and an important Greek with the Trojans.

What is a band of asteroids?

A band of asteroids, also known as an asteroid belt, is a region in space between Mars and Jupiter where a large concentration of asteroids are found. These asteroids vary in size, shape, and composition, and are thought to be remnants from the early solar system. The most well-known asteroid belt is the Main Asteroid Belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Which asteroids travel before and behind the planet Jupiter?

The asteroids that travel in orbits that take them ahead of Jupiter are called "Trojan asteroids." They are located in two groups, known as the Greek camp and the Trojan camp, positioned along Jupiter's orbit around the sun. These asteroids have stable orbits because they are in gravitational equilibrium with Jupiter and the sun.


What are the asteroids the follow and precede Jupiter in a gravitational well called?

The asteroids that follow Jupiter in its orbit are called Trojans, while the ones that precede Jupiter are referred to as Greeks. These asteroids orbit the Sun in two distinct swarms located around the Lagrange points of Jupiter's orbit.
