Is a asteroid a planet?

No. Asteroids are too small to be planets.


What do the five outter planets have in commmon?

They are all beyond the asteroid belt. They all have a %composition of ice due to the distance they formed from the sun. Planets inside the asteroid belt have no ice composing their structure (the planet itself is not made of ice) as it was too warm when they formed. If we neglect Pluto they have a lot of things in common, however Pluto and Charon are keiper belt objects and are very dissimilar to the gas giants


What is Jupiter next too?

The Planet Jupiter is between the planet Saturn and the asteroid belt. On the other side of the asteroid belt is the planet Mars.

No. Asteroids are too small to be considered planets.


What is the name of the area that separates the terestrial planets from the gas giant?

Its the asteroid belt. Lots of rocks that are in orbit around the sun, but are too small to be called planets. The largest of these rocks is a `dwarf planet` called Ceres, about 900km in diameter.


Does the asteroid belt have an astmosphere?

No. The asteroid belt is not an object but a region with more asteroids than the rest of the solar system. Asteroids themselves have too little gravity to have atmospheres.


What is a rocky object orbiting the sun between the planets?

The Asteroid Belt is a group of rocky objectsbetween the orbits of Mars, {the farthest from the Sun, of the four Terrestrial Planets=Mercury, Venus, Earth & Mars} and the Gas Giants= Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.Pluto has been demoted to a Planetary Object. (I wasn't too happy about that, either)

How much gravity does the asteroid belt have compared to earth?

The gravity in the asteroid belt is much weaker than on Earth due to its scattered and small mass. Objects in the asteroid belt experience very low gravity, with most asteroids having too little mass to exert a significant gravitational force on one another.


Are all the asteroid in the asteroid belt?

No. Asteroids are scattered throughout the solar system in various orbits, some of which are relatively stable. Some have orbits that pass near Earth. But the vast preponderance of large asteroids are in the Main Belt between Mars and Jupiter. The problem with highly elliptical orbits is that the asteroid will be influenced by the major planets, moons, and the Sun. If its orbit is disturbed, it could be trapped by a giant planet or pulled too close to the Sun. Over the life of the solar system, many small asteroids have been either pulled into the Sun or ejected from the inner solar system by the gravity fields there.


Why is planet biyo considered a minor planet?

Biyo is an asteroid in the asteroid belt a few km across that was named after a teacher. Its too small to be considered a planet or even a dwarf planet. Its not spherical and it does not dominate its orbit.


What are Rocky and metallic objects that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered planets are?

Rocky and metallic objects that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered planets are asteroids and meteoroids. These objects can be found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, as well as in various other locations throughout our solar system.
