Actually they don't. They can travel at very different speeds, depending on their distance from the Sun. The Earth - or any object in an orbit similar to Earth's - has a speed of about 30 km/sec around the Sun. (I leave it for you to convert that to non-standard units.) An object at the distance of Neptune would have a speed of about 5.4 km/sec. That is assuming it has a circular orbit. Objects that are further out would be slower still.
What else can I help you with?
Which asteroids travel before and behind the planet Jupiter?
The asteroids that travel in orbits that take them ahead of Jupiter are called "Trojan asteroids." They are located in two groups, known as the Greek camp and the Trojan camp, positioned along Jupiter's orbit around the sun. These asteroids have stable orbits because they are in gravitational equilibrium with Jupiter and the sun.
Do asteroids travel faster than light?
No, asteroids do not travel faster than light. Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) in a vacuum, which is the maximum speed at which anything can travel in our universe. Asteroids typically travel much slower than the speed of light.
How do asteroids travel?
Asteroids travel through space in orbits around the Sun due to a combination of their initial velocity and the gravitational pull of the Sun. They can also be influenced by gravitational forces from other celestial bodies, such as planets, which can alter their trajectories. Ultimately, asteroids move through space following the laws of celestial mechanics.
Most asteroids in your solar system travel in a belt between what two planets?
Mars and Jupiter.
Are comets meteors and asteroids named?
Many comets and many asteroids are named, though not all, particulary not all asteroids. As for meteors, as they happen in an instant when a piece of ice, dust, dirt or rock enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up and then they are gone, they are not named.
Where does an asteroid travel?
Asteroids travel through space.

Can nukes travel into space and destroy asteroids?
Yes, nukes(nuclear weapons) can travel up into space to destroy asteroids and huge flying rocks.
Do meteorites asteroids and comets travel in their own orbits?
no.....
What is the general location for an asteroids?
"In space" is probably too general an answer. In truth, asteroids are all over the solar system. The majority of asteroids travel in a poorly-defined region called the "Asteroid Belt" between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, approximately 4 AU out from the Sun.But there are plenty of asteroids that orbit at other distances as well.
Do asteroids travel faster than light?
No, asteroids do not travel faster than light. Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) in a vacuum, which is the maximum speed at which anything can travel in our universe. Asteroids typically travel much slower than the speed of light.
Do all asteroids clear there neighborhood?
Yes, all asteroids do clear the neighborhood around them.
What other bodys travel around the sun but are not considered planets?
Asteroids, and comets.

Are asteroids mostly round like planets or are they all different shapes?
Asteroids are all different shapes and sizes.
What are solid bits of debris that travel through the solar system?
Meteoroids, asteroids and comets.
Does Jupiter have asteroids?
Yes, Jupiter has asteroids locked in orbit with it at all of its stable Lagrangian Points.
