What else can I help you with?
How many moons does vesta have?
Vesta is the only Asteroid visible on Earth by the naked eye. It has no moons
How many moons Ceres have?
Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, has no known moons orbiting around it. It is considered a dwarf planet rather than a true planet like Earth, which typically has one or more moons.
What are the moons of Mars believed to be?
The moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are believed to be captured asteroids from the asteroid belt. Their irregular shapes and small sizes suggest that they are not formed from the same processes as larger moons, indicating a different origin. Both moons are composed of carbon-rich rock and ice, supporting the theory of their asteroid-like nature. Their orbits and surface characteristics align with those of other small celestial bodies in the solar system.
What is the name of the asteroid that had its own moon?
The first confirmed case of an asteroid orbiting another asteroid is the asteroid Ida which is orbited by a smaller asteroid orbiting it called Dactyl; other asteroid moons have been found since.
The two moons of Mars are believed to be captured?
Yes, the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are believed to be captured asteroids. They are irregularly shaped and have compositions similar to asteroids in the outer asteroid belt. This theory is supported by their small size, irregular orbits, and low densities.
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.
Are all the Moons from every planet the same?
No! No two are alike. Every one is different.
How meany moons doe's the asteroid belt have?
I think you will find that asteroids do not have moons.
Does asteroid have any moons?
Yes. Afew asteroids have smaller asteroids orbiting them as moons. The best known case is the asteroid Ida and its moon Dactyl.
Can asteroids become moons?
No. An asteroid can get captured by an asteroid and become a moon, but not the moon. Our moon is too large to be considered an asteroid.
How many moons does vesta have?
Vesta is the only Asteroid visible on Earth by the naked eye. It has no moons
How are moons and asteroids different?
"An asteroid is a piece of moon that orbits the sun and a moon is a giant rock sphere that orbits earth."
What is the numbers of moons in Mars?
Mars actually has 2 asteroid-sized moons Deimos and Phobos. Does that answer your question?
Does the giant asteroid Vesta have any moons?
No, the giant asteroid Vesta does not have any moons. It is one of the largest bodies in the asteroid belt, but unlike some other asteroids, it has not captured any natural satellites. Vesta is primarily known for its unique geological features and its status as a protoplanet rather than for having moons.
Can there be moons that may be asteroids pulled from the asteroid belt?
Yes, it is possible for moons to be asteroids that were captured by a planet's gravity. This scenario typically occurs when a passing asteroid is caught in the gravitational field of a planet and becomes its moon.
Put the following in size order smallest first. Comet. Sun. Asteroid. Planet and moon?
The generally accepted order would be Comet, Asteroid, Moon, Planet, Sun. However, there is considerable overlap in sizes among asteroids and moons. Some of the moons of Saturn are fairly small, and the moons of Mars are both smaller than the average asteroid.
How many moons Ceres have?
Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, has no known moons orbiting around it. It is considered a dwarf planet rather than a true planet like Earth, which typically has one or more moons.
