How are asteroid and moons 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.
What is made of rock that orbits the sun?
planets of course, or asteroids. both are rock
What are small planets with orbits between mars and Jupiter?
Small planets with orbits between Mars and Jupiter are known as asteroids. These rocky and metallic objects are remnants from the early formation of the solar system and can vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest asteroid in this region is Ceres, which is also classified as a dwarf planet.
What moon is Trojan boy?
Ganymede.
Where are Asteroids are found mainly between?
Asteroids are mainly found in the asteroid belt, which is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in our Solar System. These asteroids range in size, shape, and composition and are remnants from the early formation of the Solar System.
What are the rock objects called that crisscross the orbits of the planets?
They are still called asteroids. But some refer to them as "rogue" asteroids, or "asteroids in irregular orbits".
Do asteroids have elliptical orbits?
maybe
Why do cosmologists calculate these asteroids orbits and compare such orbits with the earth's orbit?
Mainly to see if the asteroids are going to pose a collision danger with regards to the Earth.
What are the names of the asteroids that cross Earth's orbit and Jupiter's orbit?
Main Belt asteroids -- a band of asteroids located in the "missing planet" gap between Mars and Jupiter. None of these are economically attractive in a near term program because they are too far from Earth.Amor asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits approach but do not cross Earth orbit, and whose orbits are further from the Sun than Earth's orbit (i.e., "outside-t" Earth orbit). Many have orbits which reside entirely between Earth and Mars. Some of these are economically attractive in the near term.Apollo asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Apollo asteroids spend most of their time outside Earth orbit. Many of these are economically attractive in the near term.Aten asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Unlike Apollos, Atens spend most of their time inside Earth orbit. A large percentage of known Atens are economically attractive in the near term.

Which planet is closest to a region of asteroids?
Orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter are closest to the region of asteroids.
Do meteorites asteroids and comets travel in their own orbits?
no.....
What are located between orbits of mars and Jupiter?
The asteroids.
Are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter?
The asteroids.
What are facts about Apollo asteroids?
Apollo asteroids are a group of near-Earth asteroids with orbits that intersect with Earth's orbit. They are named after the first asteroid of this group discovered, 1862 Apollo. Some Apollo asteroids are classified as potentially hazardous asteroids due to their close approach to Earth.
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
Most asteroids exist between the orbits of?
Mars and Jupiter
