What is the name for a band of asteroids?

Some asteroids are considered associated and are called "groups." Most asteroids are not part of groups but are in a "belt" positioned between Mars and Jupiter. Certain zones of gravitional equilibrium can capture asteroids. These zones are known as LaGrange Points. Jupiter, having the most powerful planetary gravity, has several groups at these points. Two of them, because the individual asteroids in them are named after heroes in the Trojan War, are known as "Trojan asteroids." One group is the "Trojan" group and another is the "Greek" group, even though there's an important Trojan in the Greeks and an important Greek with the Trojans.

What are the names of the asteroids that cross Earth's orbit and Jupiter's orbit?

Main Belt asteroids -- a band of asteroids located in the "missing planet" gap between Mars and Jupiter. None of these are economically attractive in a near term program because they are too far from Earth.Amor asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits approach but do not cross Earth orbit, and whose orbits are further from the Sun than Earth's orbit (i.e., "outside-t" Earth orbit). Many have orbits which reside entirely between Earth and Mars. Some of these are economically attractive in the near term.Apollo asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Apollo asteroids spend most of their time outside Earth orbit. Many of these are economically attractive in the near term.Aten asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Unlike Apollos, Atens spend most of their time inside Earth orbit. A large percentage of known Atens are economically attractive in the near term.
