Asteroids mainly orbit between Mars and Jupiter, though some, called NEOs (Near Earth Objects) orbit the sun in eccentric orbits, some even crossing the Earth's orbit. There is also the Kuyper Belt, which starts around Neptune and continues well past Pluto's orbit, and the Oort Cloud, which we think extends as far as 1/2 to 1 light year from the sun. Both are repositories for both comets and asteroids.
The asteroid belt is in between Mars and Jupiter.
Objects that move between Mars and Jupiter are asteroids. These asteroids mainly exist in the asteroid belt located between the two planets. They vary in size and shape, ranging from small rocky fragments to large irregularly shaped bodies.
Those are called asteroids, which are rocky objects that orbit the Sun. They are leftover fragments from the formation of the solar system and are mainly found in the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter.
Most asteroids are located in the asteroid belt which is just between Mars and Jupiter's orbit. Here, there are thousands of them. Some are also found in Jupiter's orbit, these are called Trojan asteroids. Finally, there are a few near the Earth which are called Apollo asteroids. An asteroid is made up of rock and metal, and are basically remnants of the earliest years of the formation of the solar system (roughly about 4 billion years ago).
Asteroids. These are rocky remnants left over from the early formation of the solar system. They are typically found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Asteroids are found mainly between Mars and Jupiter in the region known as the asteroid belt because the gravitational pull of Jupiter prevented the material in this region from forming a planet. Instead, the leftover debris accumulated to form asteroids. The gravitational influence of Jupiter's massive size helped to scatter the material and prevent a planet from forming in this region.
The asteroid belt is in between Mars and Jupiter.
In the asteroid belt. It is found between Mars and Jupiter.
They are asteroids within the Asteroid Belt.
Yes, asteroids are found in our solar system. It is estimated that over 100,000 asteroids are located in the belt between Jupiter and Mars.
The asteroid belt is located between the orbi of Jupiter and Mars
Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt, which contains the bulk of the solar system's asteroids. Where there are asteroids the are undoubtedly meteoroids.
Objects that move between Mars and Jupiter are asteroids. These asteroids mainly exist in the asteroid belt located between the two planets. They vary in size and shape, ranging from small rocky fragments to large irregularly shaped bodies.
The composition of asteroids can vary widely. The defining characteristics of asteroids are that they are at least 10 meter in diameter, and that they orbit the Sun - NOT a planet, in which case they would be called moons.
I want to know the answer.
No, Actually most asteroids are found beyond Pluto, the asteroid ring there is called the Kupiter belt it has much more asteroids between the belt between Jupiter and Mars. -- BananaPower
