Asteroids vary a lot from one to another - basically, objects less than 10 meters across are called meteorites, larger objects are called asteroids. But they may also be much larger - up to thousands of kilometers in diameter. Similarly, they may have large differences in other aspects.If the asteroid is large (several hundred or thousand kilometers across), you can expect it to have a layered structures - i.e., it would also have a nucleus.

Mars is not in the asteroid belt. The Asteroid Belt is between Mars and Jupiter.
The second asteroid named after Elicott Douglass is 6052 Icarion.
An asteroid is a small rocky body that orbits the sun, while an asteroid belt is a region in our solar system located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where many asteroids are found. The asteroid belt is like a "belt" of smaller objects orbiting the sun, with the largest asteroid being Ceres.

Most astronomers - with some help from the statisticians - feel that a massive asteroid or cometary nucleus strike on earth is an inevitability someday down the road. That does not mean it will happen. It only means the odds seem to indicate it will.
That's right; Ceres is the largest asteroid.

The asteroid missed the Earth's atmosphere by inches.We will begin asteroid mining soon.
If there is an atmosphere, the light will gradually dim as the asteroid approaches the asteroid.

TO get into the asteroid castle you have to complete the puzzle on the door.
