ASTEROIDS Asteroids, sometimes called minor planets, are rocky remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Most of this ancient space rubble can be found orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt. Asteroids range in size from Vesta—the largest at about 329 miles (530
Introduction. Most asteroids can be found orbiting our Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt. Asteroids range in size from Vesta – the largest asteroid at about 329 miles (530 kilometers) in diameter – to bodies that are less than 33 feet (10 meters) across.
Asteroids, sometimes called minor planets, are rocky, airless remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Most asteroids can be found orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt.
Properties of Asteroids INTRODUCTION About 4.56 billion years ago, the early Solar System consisted of a rotating disk of gas and dust, called the proto-planetary disk, revolving around the Sun. Planets formed from this disk, and different populations of small bodies, in particular the main belt asteroids between the orbits
Asteroids, sometimes called minor planets, are small, rocky fragments left over from the formation of the solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Most of this ancient space rubble can be found orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter.
