Asteroids

We don't know either. We see the planet with two dark stripes across it but we also see two stars?? on each side. It looks as though you could draw a straight line through the two stars, Venus and the two stars on the other side. I Have easily found that Venus doesn't have any moons but I can't find what these objects are.

An asteroid did NOT destroy the dinosaurs.

A flood did. Read the Bible. :)

The flood was the one who killed the dinosaurs, but Noah took small dinosaurs (e.g lizards, crocodiles).

Jupiter has hundreds of Trojan asteroids circling along its orbit. These Trojans are located in two groups ahead of and behind Jupiter in its orbit around the Sun.

anything that can cause a large disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami. however, it's unlikely that an asteroid would cause a tsunami for a couple of reasons :

1. asteroids usually burn up in the atmosphere anyway, and even if it makes it through, it's usually too tiny to cause a tusnami

2. tsunamis are especially devastating because it's not just a topical wave, the whol body of water moves, it's like a wall of moving water. Asteriods would have to enter the water @ just the right angle to create a tsunami

3. all in all, it could happen, but it's unlikely

In 1802, shortly after discovering Pallas, Heinrich Olbers suggested to William Herschel that Ceres and Pallas were fragments of a much larger planet that once occupied the Mars-Jupiter region, this planet having suffered an internal explosion or a cometary impact many million years before.

The asteroid belt is a doughnut-shaped concentration of asteroids orbiting the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, closer to the orbit of Mars. Most asteroids orbit from between 186 million to 370 million miles (300 million to 600 million km or 2 to 4 AU) from the Sun. The asteroids in the asteroid belt have a slightly elliptical orbit. The time for one revolution around the Sun varies from about three to six Earth years.

okay i think that they are the same because arnt comets the same as shoting stars and shoting stars are just asterids that came to close to the earth so i think that they are the same. but you might want to ask someone before using this information im only 13.

ok no! your way wrong soory bro.. comets have a tail... asteroids don't

comets are made up of mostly rock and ice...and asteroids of rock and metals.

and by the way, a shooting star is an meteor not and asteroid

Some may but they will be very weak as the asteroids are solid. Even planets like Mars and Mercury have only very weak magnetic fields because they are solid. The Earth has the strong magnetic field that it does only because it is large enough to be able to retain enough heat to keep part of its core molten.

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.

Asteroid: 99942 Apophis Movie: "Armageddon"

the earth is continually bombarded by asteroid, comets and meteors you do not see them because they burn up in the upper atmosphere on impact ... there is an impact site in Mexico ... where it is believed caused the extinction of dinosaur ...

The term "asteroid" comes from the Greek words "astron," meaning star, and "eidos," meaning form. Combined, they suggest "star-like" or "star-shaped." The name was chosen by the astronomer William Herschel in the early 19th century to describe these small rocky bodies orbiting the Sun.

They are typically dense with erratic formations of a vast array of materials. Asteroids are believed to be the largest source of precious and rare earth metals / elements. Other than this, the properties of asteroids vary just as much as the surface of our planet does.

Asteroids (they should really be called "planetoids" since they're sort of failed planets, not failed stars) formed at the same time as the rest of the solar system and are the bits "left over" from the era of planetary accretion. The large number of them in the Asteroid BELT reflects the disruptive influence of Jupiter's gravity. If Jupiter have not been so massive (it's twice as massive as all the other planets combined), a planet would probably have formed there.

The kinetic energy of an impacting object is directly proportional to the crater diameter it creates upon impact. A higher kinetic energy results in a larger crater diameter because more energy is transferred during the collision, leading to greater excavation and material displacement.

The largest object in the asteroid belt is Ceres at about 580 miles across. It is classified as a dwarf planet rather than an asteroid.

yes easily if it got that far because the artoird belt is not like what you see in the movies.

Each astorid is like a million miles apart so you could plot a random course and almost be sure that it wouldn't hit anything

hope this helps

Asteroid 2002 VE68 is a quasi satellite of Venus. However, it is not a true moon - it has only been in this configuration only about 7000 years, and it will probably leave the configuration in about 500 years. Also, 2002 VE68 interacts with Mercury and the Earth, as well as with Venus.

Comets are made out of ice. They will melt after millions and billions of years. They were so cold that it can't really melt fast like an ice cube.

Asteroids are made out of rock. there's an asteroid belt outside Earth, and now Astronomers are still discovering them.

Meteors was the same thing as Asteroid, so you don't really had to know them.

Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun and are primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They can vary in size from small rocks to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. Some asteroids can also be found in other locations, such as near Earth.

Asteroids are generally bigger than comets, with sizes ranging from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. Comets are typically smaller and are made up of rock, dust, and ice. However, there can be exceptions, and sizes can vary among individual asteroids and comets.

An asteroid is a rocky body with a regular orbit around the Sun, especially those bodies in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter.

A comet is an icy body originating in the Oort Cloud with an eccentric orbit that, when approaching closer to the Sun, starts to melt and give off a tail of gas. The word "comet" means "tail" originally.

Famous, celebrated, or well-known

Ps when you need to know a definition type on google define (the word you want to know here)

Differentiated asteroids have undergone processes like heating and melting, leading to the separation of heavy and light elements. This results in distinct layers within the asteroid. Undifferentiated asteroids have not experienced these processes and are more homogeneous in composition throughout.
