Between mars and Jupiter
The asteroids are located between the orbit of Mars and the Jupiter. The asteroids are believed to be the remain of a planet that once used to orbit the sun.
The asteroid belt, which is composed of asteroids and spans a width of 300 million kilometres, is located between the planets of Mars and Jupiter.
Asteroids are their own class of object.
The Trojan asteroids have orbits that are located along the same path as a planet, about 60 degrees ahead or behind the planet. They are in gravitationally stable regions called Lagrange points, which result from the interaction between the gravity of the planet and the Sun.
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.
Jupiter has hundreds of Trojan asteroids circling along its orbit. These Trojans are located in two groups ahead of and behind Jupiter in its orbit around the Sun.
Trojan asteroids are a group of asteroids that share the same orbit as a larger planet, located at stable Lagrange points ahead of or behind the planet. This unique orbital configuration is the most important defining property of Trojan asteroids.
no
Asteroids can fall on any planet (or moon).
Yes. Asteroids can hit any planet.
No. The asteroids can be seen as leftovers from the formation of the solar system.
