They're too small for their gravitation to round them up.

Sitem, is the name of another moon for Neptune and it is derived from this, the meaning is 'meteor-like', because the moon itself looks like a meteor. Hope I helped :)
Most of the asteroids within our solar system can be found within the Asteroid Belt. Located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, the Asteroid Belt consists of millions of individual asteroids of varying sizes - from a speck of dust to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest object within the belt is a dwarf planet - Ceres - which has a mass of 9.47x1020kg and a diameter of 476.2km.
Yes, in fact, it is the third-largest moon on Neptune, and is commonly referred to as Neptune II.
A rocky object that has an irregularly shaped body made of planetary material and orbits the Sun is an asteroid. Asteroids are small, rocky bodies that can be found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, as well as in other areas of the solar system.
They're too small for their gravitation to round them up.
There is no "small dense object" that orbits between Mars and Jupiter. There are however numerous asteroids which are rocky objects up to a few hundred miles in diameter that orbit in this region making up what is called the asteroid belt.
Irregularly shaped pieces of rock, metal, and dust found in space are called asteroids. They are remnants from the formation of the solar system and can range in size from small pebbles to hundreds of kilometers in diameter.
Yes. Mars has two moons: Phobos and Deimos
Any of numerous small, often irregularly shaped rocky bodies that orbit the sun primarily in the asteroid belt
Because they are just small to medium size rocks. They are not large enough for gravity to shape them into spheres, like the Moon etc
Mars is the only planet with two moons. Though all the large planets have at least three or four moons.
They're small, odd shaped, irregularly cut pieces of pasteboard or wood or the like that usually have a small part of a picture on them, that when fitted together form a design or picture.

Depending on the size of the rock - if it is small enough it can be measured in a container with water the size can be judged by seeing how much water it displaces
Mars' biggest moon is Phobos. It is irregularly shaped and relatively small compared to Earth's moon, with a diameter of about 22.2 kilometers.
