What is the general location for an asteroids?
"In space" is probably too general an answer. In truth, asteroids are all over the solar system. The majority of asteroids travel in a poorly-defined region called the "Asteroid Belt" between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, approximately 4 AU out from the Sun.But there are plenty of asteroids that orbit at other distances as well.
Do asteroids cross the Earth's orbit as they orbit the Sun?
Yes, asteroids orbit Sun, even meteors and comets. But generally, every pieces of asteroid doesn't have orbits, it has a zone. They bump each other until they form into a larger ones. If an asteroid got out of the zone it now move freely into space and crashes into a planet by gravity. Astronomers now detected a planet, or a dwarf planet, or still an asteroid itself, called Ceres
What angle is this planet tilted?
23.6 degrees
Have anyone visited Jupiter?
No person has visited Jupiter the closest we have been is to observe the planet with high powered telescopes.
What planet in our solar system is closest in diameter to Callisto?
Mercury has a diameter of 4879 km compared to Calisto's 4821 km.
What planet is Ceres after in the solar system?
Many other asteroids. They are minor planets. Pallas and Hygiea are the largest. But the closest real planet after Ceres (which is not a real planet itself) is Jupiter.
Can asteroids be planets?
Technically yes. [See related question] However, there are no known asteroids classified as planets. The closest would be Ceres, a dwarf planet. [See related question]
What are asteroids considered to be if not considered a planet or dwarf planet?
Asteroids are their own class of object.
Which asteroids travel before and behind the planet Jupiter?
The asteroids that travel before and behind the planet Jupiter are called the Trojan asteroids
Does Mars have an asteroid?
A planet cannot "have" asteroids. But there are asteroids near Venus' orbit.
Are asteroids huge planet?
no
What planets do asteroids fall on?
Asteroids can fall on any planet (or moon).
Was the asteroids a planet?
No. The asteroids can be seen as leftovers from the formation of the solar system.
Can asteroids hit Saturn?
Yes. Asteroids can hit any planet.
Does Mars have a Kuiper belt?
The Kuiper belt is a region of the solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune, believed to contain many comets, asteroids, and other small bodies made largely of ice. So it 'belongs' to the whole Solar System, and although it is closest to Neptune, no planet owns it.
What is planet closet to the sun?
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun.
Which planet is not an asteroid?
None of the planets are asteroids.
