What are the differences between differentiated and undifferentiated asteroids?

Differentiated asteroids have undergone processes like heating and melting, leading to the separation of heavy and light elements. This results in distinct layers within the asteroid. Undifferentiated asteroids have not experienced these processes and are more homogeneous in composition throughout.


The craters on the surface of earths moon were produced by what?

How Many asteroids are found between Mars and which other celestial body Earth Jupiter the moon the sun?

Asteroids are primarily found between Mars and Jupiter, in a region known as the asteroid belt. This region contains millions of asteroids of varying sizes. The gravitational influence of Jupiter plays a significant role in shaping the distribution and stability of these asteroids. Therefore, the correct celestial body to compare with Mars in this context is Jupiter.


What are 3 differences between asteroid and satellite?

Asteroids are celestial objects made of rock or metal that orbit the sun, while satellites are artificial objects placed in orbit around a planet or moon. Asteroids vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers, while satellites are typically much smaller in size and are man-made. Asteroids can be found throughout the solar system, while satellites are specifically designed and launched by humans for various purposes such as communication, navigation, or scientific research.

Why do asteroids attract other asteroids just like the earth attracts the moon?
