Asteroids

You would find a large amount of asteroids between the planets Mars and Jupiter in the region known as the asteroid belt.

Yes, asteroids can lose their orbit due to various reasons such as gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies, impacts by other objects, or influences from the Yarkovsky effect (radiation-induced forces). In some cases, these factors can cause an asteroid to be ejected from its orbit entirely or sent on a new trajectory.

Both orbit the sun.

Some asteroids are made of similar stuff to the earth. The earth is made of iron and nickel (which is mostly deep in the core) and rock. Some asteroids are made or rock, some of iron, and some of a mix.

There are a number of reasons. Just like astronomers can see both Mars and Jupiter in a telescope, they would be able to see a planet between them. Also, using both visual and radio telescopes, they can and do track hundreds of asteroids in the asteroid belt. They can also tell by the way Mars and Jupiter behave in their own orbits. An entire planet's gravity would effect the orbits of both planets to a much greater extent than thousands of rocks.

Comets can affect Earth in the future and have affected Earth a great deal in the past.

Primordial Earth:

Primordial Earth, particularly in the first billion years of Earth, was shaped greatly by comets and asteroids and meteorites. Based on the known populations of comets now and projections to that earlier time, there is substantial evidence that half or more of all water on Earth was brought by comets.

Comet History:

Comets were a pretty unexpected apparition in the night sky before anyone knew what they were. For thousands of years people have seen them an taken them to be some kind of omen. History records great events and decisions connected with comets. Starting around the 1600s when science and astronomy were becoming separate from astrology and magic, comets were a helpful and motivating factor in stimulating the study of the cosmos. They have been such ever since.

We now know that comets are the source of meteor showers, an amazement to mankind throughout history.

There are not many reliable examples of large comets striking the Earth in recent history, but we can be quite certain that is has happened. Comet Shoemaker-Levi was quite spectacular when it hit Jupiter in 1993, leaving a disturbance in Jupiter's atmosphere that was larger than the size of the Earth.

Comet Future:

Still a a stimulus for scientific study, comets give us an opportunity to sample material from the most distant parts of the solar system. In particular, the source of most comets is from either the Kuiper belt beyond Neptune or the far more distant Oort cloud.

Comets are large enough to be dangerous.

Comet nuclei range from about 100 meters to tens of kilometers across. They are not solid like asteroids but composed of rock, dust, water ice, and frozen gases. Still, a large comet impact on Earth could be catastrophic for life and probably has been in the distant past. Unlike asteroids, they are less likely to appear suddenly and the probabilities for such a disaster are much lower for comets than asteroids.

Bodies in the inner Solar System, like Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are predominantly made of rock and metals. In contrast, bodies in the outer Solar System, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are primarily composed of gases and ices, such as hydrogen, helium, water, and ammonia. Additionally, outer Solar System bodies are much larger and more massive compared to inner Solar System bodies.

Napoleon let Moses stay because he taught the animals to work hard and not complain. Just as Stalin (Napoleon) knew that religion (Moses) would stop violent rebellion's in Russia.

Hope this helps! :)

Most of the asteroids within our solar system are found within the asteroid belt, which is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

The asteroid collision theory, which was brought to wide attention in 1980 by Walter Alvarez and colleagues, links the extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous period to a bolide impact approximately 65.5 million years ago.

No, scientists have not found any asteroids with a high probability of crashing into Earth in the near future. NASA and other organizations actively monitor Near-Earth Objects and are constantly working to identify any potential threats well in advance to provide adequate time for mitigation strategies.

An asteroid will have a larger acceleration when it is nearest to the sun due to the stronger gravitational force exerted by the sun compared to the earth. This acceleration causes the asteroid to move faster when it is closest to the sun.

Meteor Crater in Arizona is approximately 1 mile in diameter, 2.4 miles in circumference, and about 550 feet deep. It was formed around 50,000 years ago by the impact of a meteorite traveling at a speed of about 26,000 miles per hour.

The concentric gaps in the asteroid belt are known as Kirkwood Gaps. These are regions where the gravitational interactions with Jupiter have cleared out most of the asteroids, creating spaces with fewer objects.

Many scientists believe that something other than asteroids have caused most catastrophic extinctions because some events, like the Permian extinction, show multiple stressors occurred simultaneously. The Deccan Traps volcanic eruptions coincide with the extinction of dinosaurs, suggesting a connection. Additionally, gradual environmental changes and feedback loops could have contributed to mass extinctions more than singular events like asteroid impacts.

The Kuiper Belt is a region of the solar system that lies beyond the orbit of Neptune. It starts just beyond the orbit of Neptune and extends out to about 55 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. It is home to many small icy bodies, including dwarf planets like Pluto and Eris.

The asteroids in the asteroid belt do move around the Sun, but they don't rotate as a single unit like a planet does. Each asteroid has its own orbital path and speed, so there isn't a specific speed at which the asteroid belt as a whole rotates.

Asteroids are rocky remnants from the early formation of our solar system, originating from the cloud of gas and dust that surrounded the young sun over 4.5 billion years ago. They are mainly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but can also be found throughout the solar system. Some asteroids have been knocked out of the asteroid belt due to gravitational interactions with larger planets.

A small mini-planet, about the size of Mars, slammed into the Earth. This was when the earth was completely molten, so it knocked some of the lava off the Earth to form a ring around it. Over time that ring crashed together to form the moon.

Meteors and comets actually have very little in common. Comets do fly through space, while meteors USED TO be flying through space. Both glow.

Meteors are the momentary flare of a space rock (more often a space pebble or space grain of sand) as it impacts the Earth's atmosphere and is incinerated by the enormous heat of the shock wave. Comets glow because the Sun's light and light-pressure vaporize the frozen gasses of the comet's nucleus, and light up the gas and dust.

Meteors are typically the size of a grain of sand, or a grain of dust; big ones may be the size of a grain of rice. Thousands of meteors like this strike the Earth each hour. Once a week or so, space rocks the size of a softball or a basket ball strike the Earth, and some of these actually make it through the atmosphere and hit the ground.

Comets are far larger, typically a few miles or more in diameter. They are mostly frozen gas, and the ice binds a few rocks and a lot of dust. Astronomers have compared them to "dirty snowballs".

I would use a division paragraph to explain the differences between meteors, meteorites, and asteroids. This type of paragraph would allow me to clearly outline how these terms differ in terms of their characteristics, composition, and behavior without going into excessive detail.

Those are "asteroids". The region is collectively known as the Main Asteroid Belt.

However, the Asteroid Belt is in no sense the way movies portray it. You would not be dodging thousands of asteroids, all moving in a variety of directions. You could throw a moon through the asteroid belt with little danger.
