What else can I help you with?
Does the gravitational attraction between earth and an asteroid decrease as the asteroid approaches earth?
The gravitational force (or attraction) between any two objects increases as the distance between them decreases. Thus, as an asteroid approaches Earth, the Earth's gravitational pull will increase as it gets nearer.
What is the distance between asteroid belt and Earth in astronomical units?
1.49 AU
Is the asteroid belt between earth and mars?
Mars' average distance from the sun is greater than Earth's average distance, and less than the average distance of most of the members of the asteroid belt. So, the answer is YES.
What is the revolution of the asteroid belt around the sun?
The revolution of asteroids in the asteroid belt is typically between 2 to 6 years, depending on the specific asteroid's distance from the Sun and its orbital speed. The average distance of the asteroid belt from the Sun is about 2.2 to 3.3 astronomical units (AU), with one AU being the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Is a collision possible between the earth and an asteroid?
Yes, if the asteroid is captured by the Earth's gravitational pull.
Is the asteroid belt located between earth and mars?
No the asteroid belt is placed between mars and Jupiter
What asteroid missed the earth by about twice the distance to the moon in 1937?
Hermes
What kind asteroid properties can be measured from the Earth?
you can measure its distance, size, shape, and composition from the Earth.
What is the people on the asteroid belt?
The crab people currently inhabit the asteroid belt. The furthest from Earth that humans have reached is the Moon which is a tiny fraction of the distance to the asteroid belt.
The asteroid belt lies about million miles from the sun?
The Asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter at an average distance between 186 million miles and 300 million miles, (300 million and 600 million kilometers). The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 93 million miles sometimes referred to as an Astronomical Unit, (AU). The Asteroid Belt is between 2.7 and 4.0 au's from the sun along the ecliptic.
Is earth the inner or outer planet located outside the asteroid belt?
Earth is inside the asteroid belt which lies between Mars and Jupiter.
Is Earth located inside the asteroid belt?
No most of the asteroids are in the asteroid belt which is between Mars and Jupiter.
