What is a chunk of rock that orbits around the Sun?
An asteroid or perhaps a comet depending on the orbit the object takes.
What was the cause of Apollo 13's explosion?
It was hit by a small piece of space debris (possibly a chunk of asteroid), wrecking certain systems critical to life-support.
Is it true that the Moon was a chunk of Earth?
It is not true that the Moon was a chunk of Earth. The leading theory is that the Moon was formed from debris created when a Mars-sized object collided with Earth early in its history. This collision released material that eventually coalesced to form the Moon.
What are the differences between Mercury and the moon?
Mercury is a planet and the closest to the sun in our solar system, while the moon is Earth's natural satellite. Mercury has a thin atmosphere and no moons, while the moon has a very thin atmosphere and orbits the Earth. Mercury is rocky and has extreme temperature variations, while the moon is also rocky but has no atmosphere.
Why did the asteroid is between planet mars and Jupiter?
The asteroid belt is a failed planet, the material on that orbit never managed to clump together into a planet because Jupiter's gravity kept the material stirred up, every time Jupiter passes the material that's trying to coagulate is pulled outwards again, and the result is a belt of asteroids. Jupiter can also rattle some of these asteroids loose and send them flying around the solar system for a time. most are very small, but at least one is large enough to have become spherical under its own gravity.
What is a large chunk of rock or metal much smaller than planets?
An asteroid or a meteoroid
What is a chunk of asteroid that has broken off in outer space?
A Meteoroid if the chunk is boulder sized or smaller, or just another Asteroid if it is house-sized or bigger.
What A chunk of an asteroid that has broken off in outer space?
A Meteoroid if the chunk is boulder sized or smaller, or just another Asteroid if it is house-sized or bigger.
What is a chunk of rock that orbits around the Sun?
An asteroid or perhaps a comet depending on the orbit the object takes.
Is an asteroid the same thing as an asteroid belt?
No. An asteroid is a relatively large chunk of rock and/or metal in orbit around the sun. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where the majority of the asteroids orbit.
What is a chunk of rock that is found between Mars and Jupiter called?
A chunk of rock found between Mars and Jupiter is called an asteroid. These rocky objects are leftovers from the early formation of the solar system and are primarily located in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What is a chunk of an asteroid that has broken off in outer space?
A small piece of an asteroid that has broken off in outer space is called a meteoroid. When this meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to friction with air particles, it creates a streak of light called a meteor or shooting star.
Can a comet or asteroid can break up to form a chunk of rock called a meteoroids?
Yes. A comet or asteroid can break up to form a chunk of rock called a meteoroid.
What is a chunk of an asteroid that has broken off in outer space calles?
meteoroid
What does it mean that an iceberg is calved?
That is when a large chunk of it separates and becomes another, smaller, iceberg.
What is a chunk of rock that is found between Mars and Jupiter called what?
The Asteroid Belt is found between Mars and Jupiter, so the answer would be an asteroid.
How much does an asteroid weigh?
The weight of an asteroid can vary greatly depending on its size and composition. Smaller asteroids can weigh only a few kilograms, while larger ones can weigh several billion kilograms. For example, the asteroid Ceres, which is the largest object in the asteroid belt, has an estimated weight of around 939 trillion kilograms.
