Question

Between which planet's orbits can we find the asteroids?

Answer 1

Explanation,

1. Asteroids are rocky worlds revolving around the sun that are too small to be called planets.
2. Asteroids are leftovers from the formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Asteroids can reach as large as Ceres, which is 940 kilometers (about 583 miles) across.
3. The three broad composition classes of asteroids are C-, S-, and M-types.
4. The asteroid belt is composed of asteroids also known as minor planets.
5. This asteroid belt distinguishes the inner planets from the outer ones.
6. Located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, contains about 1.1-1.9 million asteroids that are more than 1 km in diameter, and billions or trillions of smaller ones.
7. The total mass of the asteroid belt is nearly 4% of that of the Earth’s moon.
8. It was formed out of cosmic dust grains as a group of planetesimals during the evolution of the Solar system 4.5 billion years ago.

Hence, the asteroid is found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
