The earth wasn't formed by asteroids as such, It was formed in the primordial gasses/clouds that formed our particular Sun.
Gravity began to pull the cloud into a several different points, and as gravity pulls anything into it's source, the object begins to spiral, as per a Universal law. the heavier elements that were in the cloud got drawn closer to the centre (Iron etc.) whilst the lighter elements (Helium etc.) still got drawn in but not to the same extent. This is the reason the Gas Giants in our Solar System exist, there simply wasn't enough "Solid" Matter in their respective area's when they began forming
The immense Pressure, Friction and Heat this spiraling caused, made the cloud "Clump" in the points of gravitational pull and elements began to bond to form what we now know are the planets of our solar system.
A little trivia for you as well, the earth could have been much more "Massive" it if wasn't down to the other planets "Hoovering" up the residual elements, especially the Gas Giants, which began at the centre of the cloud and gradually drifted out to their respective positions in our solar system, taking with them some of the heavier elements as they did and then composing themselves of the lighter elements later. thus the reason for some of their Iron Cores.

What is the temperature on the earths moon?
The temperature on the moon ranges from roughly +100C during the lunar day to -100C during the lunar night.

Most recognizable cloud formation in the solar system?
The most recognizable cloud formation in our solar system is the Milky Way, which is the name of our galaxy as well. On a clear night in rural areas, the sky is covered almost completely with tiny stars.
What was earths formation?
As the sun formed there was leftover gas to create the solar system planets. In the beginning earth had no life and it was covered with lava and strucked by asteroids.
What era is when earths atmosphere formed?
The Earth's atmosphere began forming approximately 4.5 billion years ago during the Hadean Eon, following the planet's formation. This initial atmosphere was likely composed of gases released from volcanic activity and impacts from comets and asteroids.
What makes meteors so unique?
Meteors are pieces of asteroids or whole asteroids in the earths atmosphere only. Written By, Brainiocity
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.
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.
Why does asteroids hit earth?
Asteroids will hit earth every now and then because of the earths gravitational pull, but we don't get as much as Jupiter seeing as it has the highest gravitation pull.
Which of these extraterrestrial bodies do scientists think brought water to Earths surface?
Scientists believe that comets and asteroids may have brought water to Earth's surface. These bodies contain significant amounts of water ice that could have been delivered to Earth through impacts during the early formation of the solar system.
Why did asteroids hit the earth?
because of earths gravitational pull. why, did you thinkthey hit earth because of cabbages?
Why do Mars' moons look like asteroids?
Because its simple all the planets moons are asteroids except for Earths it was part of Earth at one time and ours is different because we rock.
Why do Mars two moons look like asteroids?
Because its simple all the planets moons are asteroids except for Earths it was part of Earth at one time and ours is different because we rock.
Why do Mars's two moons look like asteroids?
Because its simple all the planets moons are asteroids except for Earths it was part of Earth at one time and ours is different because we rock.
What do meteoroids and asteroids have in common?
Both meteoroid's and comets are made out of rock and burn up when getting into earths atmosphere.
