If it passes close enough, it will get into an orbit around Jupiter and may eventually collide with it.

Why did the asteroid is between planet mars and Jupiter?

The asteroid belt is a failed planet, the material on that orbit never managed to clump together into a planet because Jupiter's gravity kept the material stirred up, every time Jupiter passes the material that's trying to coagulate is pulled outwards again, and the result is a belt of asteroids. Jupiter can also rattle some of these asteroids loose and send them flying around the solar system for a time. most are very small, but at least one is large enough to have become spherical under its own gravity.


What happens when the moon passes entirely into the earths umbra?

"Umbra" means "shadow". When the Moon enters the Earth's shadow, we call that a "total lunar eclipse".


What do you think will happen as a result of earth rotating though 360 or full circle?

A day passes-it does that every day.


How large is the asteroid apophis?

An asteroid is anything greater that 10 meters across that orbits the SunA meteoroid is a sand- to boulder-sized particle of debris in the Solar System.The visible path of a meteoroid that entersEarth's (or another body's) atmosphere is called a meteor, or colloquially a shooting star or falling star. If a meteoroid reaches the ground and survives impact, then it is called a meteorite (or bolide as a flash in the sky).The largest, and the first discovered asteroid, is Ceres with a diameter of about 900km (larger than the dwarf planet Pluto).The asteroid that is assumed to have devastated the dinosaurs and created the Chicxulub crater was about 10km in diameter.


What is the bright star or planet directly above the moon tonight 27-02-09?

On February 27, 2009, the bright star or planet above the moon would likely have been either the planet Jupiter or the star Regulus. Jupiter is often visible as a bright point of light in the night sky, and Regulus is one of the brightest stars in the constellation Leo, located near the ecliptic where the moon frequently passes.

How is an asteroid released from the asteroid belt?

Usually by another asteroid moving through the belt and hitting one, creating a force to move an asteroid from its orbit. Also, if a large enough asteroid passes by, it is possible that the gravity that it generates could pull a few off.

What does earth's orbit pass through?

The earth's orbit passes through the perihelion of its orbit. As a result, the earth ends up closest to the sun in its orbit. This occurs in the winter, usually between January 1st through 4th.


What Happen when light enters a prism?

When light enters a prism, it will refract, or bend, as it passes through the prism due to the change in speed caused by entering the different medium. This bending effect causes the white light to split into its different colors, creating a spectrum as a result of dispersion.


Parts through which light passes as it enters the eye?

As light enters the eye, it passes through the cornea, the aqueous humor, the lens, and finally reaches the retina. These structures help to focus and transmit the incoming light to the photoreceptor cells in the retina where the visual signals are initiated.


What is most likely to happen when a light ray passes from air into water?

The light ray will change its direction and bend towards the normal as it enters the water due to a decrease in the speed of light. This is known as refraction.

Blood passes through the bicuspid valve and enters the left ventricle.


What asteroid passes nearest to the sun?

The asteroid 2020 AV2 has the closest perihelion (closest approach to the sun) of any known asteroid, coming within about 6.61 million kilometers of the sun. This asteroid has an elliptical orbit that takes it very close to the sun before swinging out into the outer solar system.


Water passes into or out of a cell?

Water enters and exits a cell by osmosis, which is the diffusion of water.


When an asteroid crosses from near the earth the orbit of the earth increases by 50 km why and how?

i think it has somthin 2 do with gravitational pull as the asteroid passes by the earth it pulls the eath slightly along with its gravity.
