They vary in many different sizes.
True. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun and many of them can be found within the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter.
True... the asteroid belt can be found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
No, there is no evidence to support the claim that a giant asteroid was going to hit Earth in 2014. Astronomers keep a close eye on potentially hazardous asteroids, and there are protocols in place to deal with any potential threats.

There are sand-sized rock fragments in the solar system, but when they get to that size they are not considered asteroids. They are called meteoroids.

The asteroid missed the Earth's atmosphere by inches.We will begin asteroid mining soon.
If there is an atmosphere, the light will gradually dim as the asteroid approaches the asteroid.
