In the asteroid belt, as well as in the rings of some of the gas giants.
In 1802, shortly after discovering Pallas, Heinrich Olbers suggested to William Herschel that Ceres and Pallas were fragments of a much larger planet that once occupied the Mars-Jupiter region, this planet having suffered an internal explosion or a cometary impact many million years before.
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
it is how circular and asteroids orbit path is.
Asteroids are not luminous like stars. They do not produce their own light but instead reflect light from the Sun. When they are illuminated by sunlight, asteroids can sometimes appear bright in the night sky.
Yes. Asteroids can hit anywhere.
Scientists believe that asteroids originated from the leftover material from the early solar system's formation, primarily from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter.
Yes, it is commonly thought the moons originated as asteroids, pulled from the belt by gravity.
Scientists believe that asteroids originated around 4.6 billion years ago during the early stages of the solar system's formation. These rocky bodies are remnants from the solar nebula, the cloud of gas and dust from which the sun and planets formed.

Mars has two captured asteroids as moons, known as Phobos and Deimos. These moons are irregularly shaped and likely originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter before being captured by Mars' gravity.

the asteroids crashed in Asia have 1000 asteroids
No asteroids have atmospheres.

Stars are tremendously larger than asteroids and do not become asteroids.
The material that forms rocks ultimately does come from asteroids. But the rocks on earth have been destroyed, re-formed, and altered numerous times by geologic processes, so it would be erroneous to say they are "made of asteroids." As to how: The planets originated from a disk of gas and dust orbiting the young sun. The dust coalesced into larger particles, which eventually grew into asteroids. These asteroids collided with one another, forming larger and larger bodies. Some of these became planet-like objects called planetesimals, which collided to form proto-planets. Eight of these proto-planets eventually became the planets we know today, including Earth.
