Asteroids are smaller than planets. A few of the asteroids are fairly large; Ceres, for example, is a "dwarf planet" that's bigger than Pluto. But many of the asteroids are a few miles, or a few dozen miles, across. That isn't very big, compared to Mars or Earth.
It doesn't 'DO' much. It is a region between Mars and Jupiter where asteroids orbit The Sun.
You are an asteroid. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the sun just like planets, but they are much smaller in size. If you were to find a bathtub large enough, an asteroid would be able to float in water due to its relatively light weight compared to its volume.
These "tiny planets" are known as asteroids and are part of the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. They are made up of rock and metal fragments left over from the early formation of the solar system. The largest asteroid in the belt is Ceres, which is classified as a dwarf planet.
For an object to be a planet it has to : orbit the sun, has enough mass to assume a rounded shape, and clear any objects in its path. Some planets (such as Pluto) are no longer planets because they do not fit the criteria above. They are then usually classed as dwarf planets. Asteroids are small pieces of rock which orbit the sun. These are much too small to become planets/dwarf planets and also don't fit the criteria above. Hope this helps :)
asteriods are floating space matter usually left overs from the making of other planets.
They are small compared to other planets but big compared to us.
it is mediam
An asteroid is a small rocky object that orbits the sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. A planet is a larger celestial body that orbits the sun and has cleared its orbit of other debris. Planets are typically much larger and more spherical in shape compared to asteroids.
None. Even the smallest planets are larger than the largest asteroids.
Earth's moon is relatively large compared to the moons of other planets in the solar system. It is the fifth-largest moon in the solar system. Compared to the size of Earth, the moon is about 1/6th the diameter of Earth.
The key on the big asteroid in Astro Knights Poptropica is located in the lower right corner of the asteroid near the entrance to the base. You need to use the bridge to reach it, but be careful of the falling debris.
Mother nature is not a planet. She is merely an environmental metaphor.
The planet Earth is the largest of the four rocky inner planets; it is smaller than any of the four gas giants.
Neptune 4 times bigger than earth but slightly smaller than Uranus.
there is no up and down in space. there is an asteroid belt in between mars and jupiter. the big band formed the planets.
It really depends on the terminology used. According to the Wikipedia, "The term "asteroid" is ill-defined. It never had a formal definition, ..."If you decide to include the dwarf planets, that would be Eris.Note that there is practically a continuum in sizes, from grains of dust, all the way to the planets.
Earth is the 3rd from the sun. First is Mercury, then comes Venus, followed by Earth, and then Mars. These are the 4 closest planets from the sun. There is also an asteroid belt that seperates the Inner Planets (Small planets) from the Outer Planets (Big planets).
