What else can I help you with?
If all the asteroids in the asteroid belt were combined would they be smaller then the moon?
No, the total mass of all the asteroids in the asteroid belt is estimated to be less than 4% of the mass of the Moon. Even if all the asteroids were combined, they would still be much smaller than the Moon.
What happens to asteroids that make craters on the Moon?
The asteroids are destroyed on impact and their material becomes part of the Moon.
How does the moon protect the Earth from asteroids?
Well, isn't that just the most interesting question you've asked today? You see, the moon's gravity helps to deflect some asteroids away from Earth, acting like a sort of silent guardian in the night sky. It's nature's way of reminding us that even in the darkness, there can be something beautiful and protective looking out for us.
Does earth have 5 moons?
No, Earth has only one natural moon. While there are some asteroids that are captured into orbits around Earth for short periods of time, they are not considered moons.
Why does the moon have crators in it?
The craters on the moon were formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids over billions of years. Since the moon has little to no atmosphere to burn up these objects before they hit the surface, they collide directly with the moon's rocky terrain, creating craters of various sizes.
Can asteroids be as big as our moon?
yes
Do some asteroids have moon?
Yes, some asteroids in the Asteroid Belt have moons.
What is the difference between moon and asteroids?
An asteroid is a piece of moon that orbits the sun and a moon is a giant rock sphere that orbits earth

Does asteroids have a moon?
Do*
What happens to asteroids that make craters on the Moon?
The asteroids are destroyed on impact and their material becomes part of the Moon.
What planets do asteroids fall on?
Asteroids can fall on any planet (or moon).
How do moon craters form on the moon?
They are formed by asteroids and meteorites crashing into the surface of the moon
Are the holes in the moon caused by asteroids?
most of them
Is it possible for some large asteroids to orbited by other smaller asteroids?
if they were big enough to have enough gravity they would probably no longer be considered an asteroid
Where does the rocks come from on saturns rings?
They are from bigger asteroids. Two big asteroids crash into each other and little pieces come off the big asteroids.
How are moon and asteroids alike and different?
Both asteroids and moons can be rocky. An asteroid orbits the Sun while a moon orbits a planet. Mars has two moons (Deimos and Phobos) that are most likely former asteroids.
