The asteroid belt (Main Asteroid Belt) between Mars and Jupiter contains many millions of planetesimals, chunks of rock and ice that apparently never coalesced into a planet.

What is the term for the rocky bodies that orbit the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter?

The term for rocky bodies that orbit the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter is "asteroids." These objects are remnants from the early solar system that never formed into a planet due to the gravitational influence of Jupiter.


What stellar remnants can form when stars die?

When a star dies, it can leave behind different types of stellar remnants depending on its mass. Some examples include white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. White dwarfs are formed from the remnants of low to medium mass stars, neutron stars are formed from the remnants of massive stars, and black holes are formed from the remnants of the most massive stars.


What planet has scraps on its surface?

Mercury has a surface that contains scraps. These scraps are likely remnants of impacts from asteroids and comets that have struck the planet over its history.


What are remnants of low mass stars?

Remnants of low mass stars include white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, depending on the mass of the original star. White dwarfs are remnants of stars similar in mass to our Sun, while neutron stars and black holes are remnants of more massive stars. These remnants are formed after the star exhausts its nuclear fuel and undergoes a supernova explosion.


What is a piece of rock similar to the material formed into the planets?

A meteorite is a piece of rock that is similar to the material formed into planets. Meteorites are remnants from the early solar system that can provide insights into the processes that formed the planets.

Why are the asteroids there?

Many asteroids are the remnants of planets which never got to the size of a full planet. Others are chunks of rock from a celestial object's surface, torn apart by collisions.

Where is the asteroid belt located and why?

The asteroid belt is located between mars and Jupiter, and i think it is located there because when are sun just started burning the remnants of the materials settled into orbit between the last rocky planet and the first gas giant

When did Pluto become a black hole?

Pluto has not become a black hole. Pluto is a dwarf planet located in our solar system, while black holes are objects formed from the remnants of massive stars that have collapsed under their own gravity.


Why do you have a star?

For without the Sun - also a star - the planet Earth would never have formed, and you, me and a few other people would never exist.


How does asteroid belt form?

Asteroids formed from left over materials from when our solar system formed that never formed into a planet.
