How did the asteroid belt get into space?
The most likely explanation for the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter; is that the gravitational pull of the two planet prevented another planter from forming between. Another possible explanation is that the Asteroid Belt Was once a small planet that was smashed to bits by a big comet or meteor. The debris from that destroyed small planet became the Asteroid Belt.
What is the most likely explanation for the start of the universe?
The big bang is the most likely explanation for the start of the universe. Although scientists may never know the true beginning of the universe.
Between what planets will you find the asteroid belt?
The largest collection of asteroids is found orbiting the Sun between orbits of Mars and Jupiter, This area is sometimes called the "asteroid belt". Think about it this way: the asteroid belt is a big highway in a circle around the Sun. The asteroids are like cars on the highway, except that they are thousands of miles apart on the average. Even so, sometimes the asteroid cars run into one another. When this happens, the asteroids may break up into smaller asteroids. Scientists think that most asteroids are the result of collisions between larger rocky space bodies. Asteroids can be a few feet to several hundred miles wide. The belt probably contains at least 40,000 asteroids that are more than 0.5 miles across. If an asteroid is disturbed by the gravitational pull of a planet, or is involved in a collision, it can be thrown out of the belt and go into orbit as a moon. Some of Jupiter's many small moons were likely once asteroids.
What is Eris's surface?
Nobody knows for sure but it is most likely just a large rock made of the same elements as most asteroids
What sample most likely has the lowest density?
Liquid mercury
The surfaces of planet Mercury and your moon contain some very large craters that are most likely the result of?
asteroids
Which of these objects would most likely be found between Mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids
What object is least likely to have a spherical shape?
Mercury has about the most perfectly spherical shape, but Saturn has the leastspherical shape (next least spherical is Jupiter).

Are asteroids likely to hit earth?
i dont think so
How will I find Mercury From A bottle of Syrup?
One good argument against the use of High Fructose Corn Syrup is that it has been found to contain mercury. Although no explanation of how the mercury was found, it's highly likely that it was found through spectral analysis. Further none of the studies seem to discuss how much mercury was found in how much syrup.

How are moon and asteroids alike and different?
Both asteroids and moons can be rocky. An asteroid orbits the Sun while a moon orbits a planet. Mars has two moons (Deimos and Phobos) that are most likely former asteroids.
Do asteroids have caverns?
Hardly likely. They are just inert lumps of igneous rock.
What is the most likely origin of asteroids?
The most likely came off as debris from colliding planets or other large objects.
Why is a fireball not likely to occur on Mercury?
Mercury has almost no atmosphere
