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.
