30 cze 2021 · Most of this ancient space rubble can be found orbiting our Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt. Asteroids range in size from Vesta – the largest at about 329 miles (530 kilometers) in diameter – to bodies that are less than 33 feet (10 meters) across.
21 maj 2020 · Large thin, white circles trace the orbits of planets and asteroids that orbit the Sun. A total of five planets are depicted and labeled in white, and follow white circular orbits. Mercury is the closest to the Sun, followed by Venus, Earth, and Mars.
13 lip 2021 · Asteroids, sometimes called minor planets, are rocky remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. The current known asteroid count is more than one million! Most of this ancient space rubble can be found orbiting our Sun between Mars and Jupiter wit
Asteroid numbers and names. Figure 7. This Hubble Space Telescope picture shows an asteroid (blue trail) moving against the background stars. This asteroid has a diameter of about 2 km and was located 87 million miles from Earth and 156 million miles from the sun. Most asteroids are seen only as trails of light against the `fixed' background stars

Orbital diagram showing the Solar System out to the orbit of Jupiter, including the asteroid belt. The Sun (yellow) is at centre, surrounded by the first five planets (not to scale) and their orbits (white circles).
Shown below is the distribution of asteroids in semimajor axis, eccentricity space contained in the inner solar system. Major groups are shown in the labeled boxes and include the Hungaria, Cybele, Hilda, and Trojan Groups. Also shown are the main-belt zones and the Flora family.
