What else can I help you with?
Do asteroids rotate?
Yes, most asteroids do rotate as they orbit the sun. Some rotate faster than others, and their rotation can affect their shape, surface features, and even their potential for impact with other objects in space.
Are asteroids made of iron and nickel?
Some asteroids are. Most are composed of a mixture of silicate minerals. Others are a mixture of the two.
Why are there so many moons?
In addition to the moons that formed with the planets themselves, there are many more that were part of the huge number of asteroids, comets, rocks, and ice chunks that exist in the solar system. While some were destroyed by planetary collisions, others were able to establish stable orbits around the larger planets. The large moon of Neptune, Triton, is believed to have been a wandering object in the Kuiper Belt (like Pluto) that veered too close to Neptune's gravity and became captured.
How did Jupiter get so many moons?
8 of Jupiter's 63+ moons are large and fairly spherical, indicating that they may have formed around the planet during the creation of the solar system. Most of the others are in very irregular orbits that suggest they are asteroids captured by Jupiter's gravity (especially from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter).
You know that there are large gaps in the average distances of asteroids from the Sun within the asteroid belt because you?
Different gravitational interactions and collisions have created these gaps, known as the Kirkwood gaps, by exerting influence on the asteroids' orbits, causing some orbits to become more stable in certain regions while leaving gaps in others. This phenomenon is a result of resonances with Jupiter's gravity perturbing the asteroid orbits over time.
What was the date Anne Frank was captured?
Anne and the others in the annex were captured on August 4th 1944, when she was 15.
How were slaves capured?
various ways. Some were threatened, some were captured, and others were slaves after they were captured in a battlefield.
Why are the asteroids there?
Many asteroids are the remnants of planets which never got to the size of a full planet. Others are chunks of rock from a celestial object's surface, torn apart by collisions.
What is Group of asteroids called?
I would just call it that - a "group of asteroids".Names of specific "groups" include the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter; the Kuiper belt; the Trojans; and others.
What are asteroids shaped like?
Asteroids have many shapes, depending on their mass or composition. The largest are spherical, but others and elongated spheres, potato shaped and even resemble peanuts. Mostly, they are irregular shaped rocks.
Why is there gravity on some planets but not on others?
All planets have gravity, but some planets have more gravity that others. The amout of gravity is based on the size of the planet. Jupiter, for example, has much more gravity than Earth because it is bigger. Planents aren't the only objects that have gravity. Even your pencil has gravity, but it is such an extremly small amout that it really doens't make a difference.
Why is why is there gravity on some planets but not on others?
There is gravity on all planets. The strength of that gravity varies depending on the size and mass of each planet.
