Asteroids (they should really be called "planetoids" since they're sort of failed planets, not failed stars) formed at the same time as the rest of the solar system and are the bits "left over" from the era of planetary accretion. The large number of them in the Asteroid BELT reflects the disruptive influence of Jupiter's gravity. If Jupiter have not been so massive (it's twice as massive as all the other planets combined), a planet would probably have formed there.

How were crater formed?
Most craters are formed by the impacts of asteroids and comets. Some craters on volcanically active bodies are volcanic in origin.
Does an asteroid have a high level of iridium?
Some asteroids do have high levels of iridium, but it is not a universal trait. Iridium is found in varying concentrations in different types of asteroids, depending on their composition and origin. The presence of iridium in an asteroid can provide insights into its history and formation.
What do comets and asteroids not have in common?
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
What is the eccentricity of asteroids?
it is how circular and asteroids orbit path is.
Are asteroids luminous?
Asteroids are not luminous like stars. They do not produce their own light but instead reflect light from the Sun. When they are illuminated by sunlight, asteroids can sometimes appear bright in the night sky.
What is the origin of comets asteroids and meteors?
The universe
What is the most likely origin of asteroids?
The most likely came off as debris from colliding planets or other large objects.
What are 2 ideas regarding the origin of the asteroids in the asteroid belt?
A) Some scientists suppose that the asteroids represent pieces of a planet that once existed but was torn apart a long time ago. B) Other scientists believe that the asteroids are material that never came together to form a planet in the first place.

How is a comet differ?
Asteroids are thought to have a different origin from comets, having formed inside the orbit of Jupiter rather than in the outer Solar System.

How many asteroids crashed in Asia?
the asteroids crashed in Asia have 1000 asteroids
What is in an asteroids aptmosphere?
No asteroids have atmospheres.
What do you call the asteroids that wander in space?
meteoroids
What is the origin of an iron meteorite?
Iron meteorites originate from the cores of differentiated asteroids that experienced high temperatures and pressures. These asteroids were disrupted by collisions, exposing their cores, which then traveled through space before eventually falling to Earth as meteorites.
How do scientists classify asteroids and meteors?
Scientists classify asteroids primarily based on their location within the solar system, size, and composition. The main categories include the C-type (carbonaceous), S-type (silicaceous), and M-type (metallic) asteroids. Meteors, on the other hand, are classified based on their origin, such as meteoroids (small fragments from asteroids or comets) and their composition, which can be stony, iron, or stony-iron. When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere and produce visible trails, they are referred to as meteors; if they survive and land on Earth, they are called meteorites.
