What happends if a asteroid collides with an object?
The result wold depend on the energy created by the collision. In most cases both objects would shatter into pieces that would spin away in a variety of new directions. If the asteroid collides with a much bigger object (a planet) then it will create an impact crater in the planet and the asteroid and a bit of the planet's surface will melt.
What is a natural outer space disaster?
Any kind of collision, such as a meteorite or asteroid colliding with a planet, or an explosion of a star could be classed as natural disasters in space.
Why do the scientist think that the asteroid belt did not form a planet?
Jupiter's massive gravitational force, (along with Mars lesser gravitional force) prevented the asteroid belt from forming into a planet. Either that or it was a small planet (like Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) that was smashed to bits after a collision with a very large object and the bits eventually formed into the asteroid belt.
What is the difference from an asteroid to a dwarf planet?
A dwarf planet is a body that orbits the sun - is often beyond the orbit of Jupiter and is classified below a planet. An asteroid is a body that orbits the sun within the asteroid belt.
What is the largest object in the asteroid belt?
The largest object in the asteroid belt is Ceres at about 580 miles across. It is classified as a dwarf planet rather than an asteroid.

Why are there rings around Jupiter?
Rings around a planet are caused by a collision. This collision could occur from a moon crashing into a moon, a moon crashing into the planet, an asteroid crashing into a moon or an asteroid crashing into the planet. The resulting debris from the collision gets trapped in the planetary orbit, and hence, creates a ring system.
Is a rocky surface an object in the solar system that is a planet?
Not necessarily. It could be a meteoroid, an asteroid or a dwarf planet.
Is Ceres and the asteroid belt a planet fragmentation?
Yes, There was a giant planet (TIAMAT) there that suffered a collision with a moon or planetoid of our binary star (NEMESIS) on a past orbital passing of the galactic equator. The majority of tiamat was knocked closer to our sun and reformed as the earth. the remnant's of the collision became the asteroid belt. SEE ALSO SUMERIAN EXPLANATION.

Can an asteroid be a planet?
NO.

Was there ever a planet in the Asteroid belt?
No planet ever existed where the asteroid belt is. The mass is insufficient for a planet to have formed from all that debris.
Where is the asteroid belt in the planet Jupiter?
The asteroid belt is not in Jupiter.
Is the asteroid belt a gas or a solid?
the asteroid planet is solid
What theory explains the formation of the asteroid belt?
The theory of the asteroid belt is - it was another planet that failed to 'gel' properly at the time the solar system was being created.
Is an asteroid an exploded planet?
no
