Well my friend, that's a lovely question. Asteroids are different from planets because they are much smaller, so they don't have enough gravity to hold onto an atmosphere. But each asteroid is unique, just like you, and astrophysicists continue to study these celestial objects to better understand our fascinating universe. Keep being curious, there's so much beauty to explore!
What else can I help you with?
Why do asteroids affect the surface of the Earth and the Moon differently?
Asteroids can affect the Earth's surface more due to its thicker atmosphere, which causes asteroids to experience greater resistance and breakup before impact. On the Moon, with no atmosphere to slow down or break up asteroids, impacts are more direct and create craters that can remain preserved for longer periods of time.
Do asteroids have an atmostsphere?
no, never, at all, EVER!!______________________________Asteroids are too small and don't have enough gravity to retain an atmosphere. There have been science fiction stories in which a transparent mylar "balloon" is inflated around the asteroid Pallas in order to provide an artificial atmosphere, or that asteroids might be hollowed out to create enormous air-filled habitats.But we are not aware of any asteroid with a natural atmosphere, and creating an artificial atmosphere for an asteroid is currently well beyond our technology._______________________________AND THEY PROBABLY NEVER WILL HAVE ONE UNLESS WE PUT IT THERE!!!, at all, EVER!!!
What is bigger meteor or asteroid?
Meteors are smaller fragments of asteroids or comets that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, causing a bright streak of light. Asteroids are larger rocky objects that orbit the sun. In general, asteroids are bigger than meteors.
What two space objects produce meteorites?
Asteroids and comets are the two space objects that produce meteorites when they enter Earth's atmosphere and survive the descent to reach the surface. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, while comets are composed of ice, dust, and rock.
How are meteors different from asteroids in terms of their composition and behavior in space?
Meteors are small rocky or metallic objects that burn up in Earth's atmosphere, creating a streak of light. They are typically composed of rock and metal. Asteroids are larger rocky or metallic objects that orbit the sun. They are made up of similar materials as meteors but are much larger in size. Asteroids can collide with other objects in space and sometimes enter Earth's atmosphere as meteors.
Do asteroids have atmospheres?
The asteroid belt, is a "collection" of asteroids circling the Sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. A collection cannot have an atmosphere. A single asteroid does not have enough mass to "hold" on to an atmosphere.
Can asteroids come in earths atmosphere?
Yes. Asteroids can enter earth's atmosphere. In such an event the asteroid will probably strike earth's surface.
Why doesn't weather occur on asteroids?
For an object such as a planet or moon to have weather, it must have an atmosphere. Asteroids do not have strong enough gravity to maintain an atmosphere.
What is a space word that starts with a?
· asteroids · atmosphere
Why don't all asteroids make it into our atmosphere?
Most asteroids do not make it through our Earth's atmosphere because it burns and perishes before it can reach the planet.
Do comets or asteroids enter the earth's atmosphere as a flaming ball?
No, they start breaking down to a small rock, asteroids enter the earths atmosphere frequently.
Are most of Jupiter's moons asteroids?
jupiters moons are different some have an atmosphere and MOST are asteroids
What layer of the atmosphere contains an asteroid?
None. Asteroids exist outside the atmosphere.
Why don't asteroids have atmospheres?
Asteroids are too small to have enough gravity to prevent any atmosphere form escaping.
Which layer protects earth from asteroids?
The Earth's atmosphere is the layer that helps protect the planet from asteroids. When asteroids enter the Earth's atmosphere, friction causes them to heat up and break apart, reducing the impact of the asteroid on the Earth's surface.
What is the atmosphere of an asteroid made of?
Asteroids are too small, and have too little gravity to have any atmosphere.
Why do asteroids affect the surface of the Earth and the Moon differently?
Asteroids can affect the Earth's surface more due to its thicker atmosphere, which causes asteroids to experience greater resistance and breakup before impact. On the Moon, with no atmosphere to slow down or break up asteroids, impacts are more direct and create craters that can remain preserved for longer periods of time.
