Do asteroids move slower than stars?
Most asteroids orbit around stars and move faster than them.
Does the suns gravity cause asteroids to move?
The sun's gravity doesn't necessarily cause the asteroids to move, however it does cause the asteroids to move the way that they do move. For example, let's take away the sun. Any asteroids around the sun would continue to move at the same rate that is was moving prior to the sun being taken away. However, instead of following an elliptical orbit around the sun, the asteroid would move in a straight line instead. So the asteroids can still move without the sun. However, it is the sun that makes the asteroids orbit around the sun. The orbit's tendency to want to move away in a straight line counteracts the gravity created by the sun. The results of these two forces is what causes the asteroids elliptical orbit.
What are objects that move 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.
Is gravity what makes asteroids and comets move?
the gravity stops them from floating away
Why are there many small asteroids but only a few very large ones?
Well there are actually alot of larger astroids in our solar system, but do to their size, they may move slower or may need more force ro move them around our solars system, because of this they do not appear often unlike smaller atroids which move easily and are more abundent than larger astroids.
What is one difference of dwarf planets and asteroids?
asteroids are small chunks of rock which move in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter while dwarf planets like Pluto have a centrifugal force and orbit the sun.
What do comets and asteroids not have in common?
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
Why are near- earth asteroids a danger?
If they crash into Earth, an enormous amount of energy can be released, since they move very fast.
How do asteroids travel?
Asteroids travel through space in orbits around the Sun due to a combination of their initial velocity and the gravitational pull of the Sun. They can also be influenced by gravitational forces from other celestial bodies, such as planets, which can alter their trajectories. Ultimately, asteroids move through space following the laws of celestial mechanics.
How many asteroids crashed in Asia?
the asteroids crashed in Asia have 1000 asteroids
What is in an asteroids aptmosphere?
No asteroids have atmospheres.
What do you call the asteroids that wander in space?
meteoroids
