An ateroid revolves around the sun.
This explanation unified the motion of celestial bodies and motion of objects on earth.

Numerous asteroids are in constant motion around the earth, infinitely tracing their orbits. Occasionally some will collide or break down and fall as bits of meteor to Earth.
No, they do not.
Asteroids move through space due to inertia, which is the tendency of a moving object to continue in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Once set in motion by a gravitational pull or collision, asteroids will keep moving at a relatively constant speed and direction unless influenced by other celestial bodies or forces.
The lack of asteroids between Mercury and Mars is likely due to the gravitational influence of Jupiter, which prevents the formation of a stable asteroid belt in that region. Additionally, the intense heat and radiation from the Sun may have prevented the formation or survival of asteroids in that inner region of the solar system.
I'm not familiar with the term "wrivilinear motion." It may be a specialized or uncommon term. Could you provide more context or clarify the term for a better explanation?
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
In the 1500s, Nicolaus Copernicus further developed the heliocentric explanation for the motion of the planets with his publication of "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) in 1543. He proposed that the Sun, not Earth, was the center of the solar system.
Asteroids keep moving through space due to inertia, the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force like gravity. The gravitational pull of nearby celestial bodies, such as the sun or planets, also affects the trajectory and speed of asteroids as they travel through space.
