What else can I help you with?
Do most asteroids orbit in the same direction as planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
What are small planetlike fragments that lies between the inner planets and outer planets?
You may be referring to asteroids, which are small rocky or icy bodies which orbit the Sun. There are many thousands of asteroids, most of which orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Most of the asteroids are too small to see, but a few of the larger ones are visible without a telescope.
What two planets are most asteroids in between?
The asteroid belt is located between the planets of Mars and Jupiter.
Where do most the astreoids orbit?
Most asteroids orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter in the Asteroid Belt.
What does an asteroid orbit around?
The asteroid belt is a doughnut-shaped concentration of asteroids orbiting the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, closer to the orbit of Mars. Most asteroids orbit from between 186 million to 370 million miles (300 million to 600 million km or 2 to 4 AU) from the Sun. The asteroids in the asteroid belt have a slightly elliptical orbit. The time for one revolution around the Sun varies from about three to six Earth years.
What are the properties of Asteroids?
There are almost 2 million asteroids in our solar system that are larger than 1 km across. Ceres and Eris used to be called asteroids but they have now been classified as Dwarf planets like Pluto. -They are made of rock, metal, or a combination of both. - Most, but not all can be found in the asteroid belt between Mars & Jupiter - All asteroids orbit the sun.
What planets do asteroids orbit?
Asteroids can orbit around any planet in our solar system, but most are found in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. Some asteroids can also have orbits that bring them close to Earth or other planets like Venus, Mercury, or even beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt.
Where do asteroids live at?
Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter. Some asteroids can also be found in other regions of the solar system, such as near Earth or in the outer solar system.
Rock like mass that revolves around the sun?
Asteroids are solid, rocklike masses known as minor planets or planetoids. Scientists believe that some asteroids are the remains of the solar system's formation. They orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter. They rotate in the same direction as the planets. Most asteroids appear to have an irregular shape and are less than 1 kilometer in length.
Do asteroids orbit around the sun like a planet?
Typically, they orbit the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. However, occasionally their orbits are disrupted by the presence of planets, and they end up in more eccentric orbits. Some of the smaller planetary satellites are thought to be asteroids that have been gravitationally captured.
What do you call chunks of rock and ice that orbit around a planet?
Asteroids. Most asteroids lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What two planets are asteroids between?
The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
