Asteroids

When an asteroid hits the Earth, it can cause widespread destruction depending on its size. The impact can create a large crater, trigger earthquakes, tsunamis, and wildfires, and release dust into the atmosphere that can lead to global cooling. The aftermath may include changes in climate, loss of biodiversity, and possible extinction events.

An ateroid can be hundreds of miles wide, but pebble-sized objects are called meteoroids rather than asteroids.

In Croatia there is village called Mavrici Maverick was a rancher in the mid west during the second half of the 1800s. He used no brand on his cattle. Cattle that bore no brand became to be known as mavericks. This was later used to describe other things such a mercenaries with no fixed loyalty or owner

The Asteroid belt is one of the regions of the Solar System situated between the orbits of the planets Mars, and Jupiter.

There are three main types of asteroids: C-type (carbonaceous), S-type (silicaceous), and M-type (metallic). C-type asteroids are dark and carbon-rich, S-type asteroids are bright and stony, and M-type asteroids are primarily composed of metals like nickel and iron.

Asteroids can vary widely in size, from just a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. A pebble-sized asteroid is certainly possible, and such small objects are known as meteoroids. These small asteroids or meteoroids often burn up in Earth's atmosphere, creating shooting stars.

Chances are, no. There was some concern in 2004 that the asteroid Apophis might hit earth in 2029, but it is now known that the object will narrowly miss earth, though there is still some uncertainty of a few thousand miles as to how close it will come. There is still a very slight chance that it could hit earth in 2036.
Even if we did predict that an asteroid would hit earth, we could not predict the path so precisely as to whether it would hit a particular city.

An asteroid orbits the sun for the same reason that a planet does; it has angular momentum. Asteroids generally remain in the asteroid belt because that is the orbit which their momentum gives them; if they had more momentum they would orbit farther from the sun, and if they had less momentum they would orbit closer to the sun (or fall into the sun, if their angular momentum were sufficiently low).

Neptune is always outside the asteroid belt

They disintegrate into dust from the heat.

Well that would depend on the size of the asteroid, but a substantial asteroid is likely to cause massive localized damage and destruction of entire ecosystems, blotting out of the sun from dust particles thrown into the atmosphere, tidal waves/tsunamis, massive loss of human life if centered near populated areas, to name a few.

it is how circular and asteroids orbit path is.

Asteroids can have holes or depressions due to impacts from other objects colliding with them. These impacts can cause material to be ejected, leaving behind a crater or depression. Additionally, some asteroids may have porous or less dense regions that create apparent holes on their surface.

Hopefully, they burn up on entering our atmosphere, due to friction with the air.

The asteroid 5383 Leavitt and the lunar crater Leavitt are named in her honour

There are millions of asteroids and all are not the same distance from the sun. The asteroid belt, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, is the main region but there are others besides these.

Many at the Lagrange points of Jupiter for instance. Which make these about 5.2 AU.

A few have been discovered at similar points in Mars orbit which makes these about 1.67 AU.

So most are between these two figures

Comets are icy bodies that develop a glowing coma and tail when they approach the sun. Meteoroids are small rocky or metallic bodies that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, producing a meteor or shooting star. Asteroids are larger rocky or metallic bodies orbiting the sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

It is possible to see hundreds of shooting stars in a single night, during a meteor shower.

Yes. The impact of a 2.5 mile wide asteroid would likely be the worst natural disaster in human history. The airblast would be devastating even hundreds of miles away. If it hit the ocean it would cause large tsunamis.

The movie you're referring to is "Armageddon" (1998), which follows a group of deep-core drillers sent to space to plant a nuclear bomb on an asteroid the size of Texas that's on a collision course with Earth.

It was discovered on October 10, 1991, by K. J. Lawrence at Palomar.

Saline water is used for mining as well as other industrial purposes. The thermo-electric industry however uses most of the salt water.

Yes, the asteroid belt starts properly after the orbit of Mars.
