The asteroid that passed nearest to the sun was the asteroid that fell to the Gulf of Mexico and killed all of the dinosaurs.
What else can I help you with?
Does an an asteroid have a larger acceleration when it is nearest to the sun or the earth?
An asteroid will have a larger acceleration when it is nearest to the sun due to the stronger gravitational force exerted by the sun compared to the earth. This acceleration causes the asteroid to move faster when it is closest to the sun.
What is the hottest asteroid?
The one nearest the sun at any given moment.
What are the two nearest neighbors of Jupiter?
In the solar system Saturn is the nearest neighbor to Jupiter outward from the sun. Inward toward the sun, Mars is the nearest planetary neighbor to Jupiter, but the many asteroids and several minor planets in the "asteroid belt" are closer to Jupiter than is Mars.
Is the planet Uranus located inside the asteroid belt or inside the asteroid belt?
Uranus is located outside the asteroid belt, further away from the Sun than the asteroid belt. It is the seventh planet from the Sun in our solar system.
What is the revolution of the asteroid belt around the sun?
The revolution of asteroids in the asteroid belt is typically between 2 to 6 years, depending on the specific asteroid's distance from the Sun and its orbital speed. The average distance of the asteroid belt from the Sun is about 2.2 to 3.3 astronomical units (AU), with one AU being the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.

Did Venus pass the sun or the moon?
The sun. The moon orbits the earth and is our nearest space object - sometimes it passes between us and the sun, this is called a lunar eclipse. Venus orbits the sun. It is nearer the sun than us, so very occasionally it passes between us and the sun. This is called the transit of Venus.
A small rocky body that orbits the sun?
Asteroid - a small, rocky body that orbits the Sun.

What is a rock orbiting the sun?
It is an asteroid.
Does a asteroid orbit the sun?
Yes. Asteroids orbit the sun.
Which planet is the nearest the the sun?
Mercury is the planet that is nearest the sun.
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.
Is an asteroid the earth Pluto or the sun the centre of the solar system?
The Sun.
