Usually to begin they use the process of relative dating, then chemical dating. Then look at where the environment that we found the fossil to determine if it has always been that environment.  When fossil is found in marine life in a country town suggesting that the environment was previously a marine environment.  Study the rocks that they found the fossils to help determine a relative age. This came before that, but after them to give us an approximate age. Then study the fossil itself to classify it into groups to determine which branch of evolution it has come from. Fossils can be found in rocks, bedding planes, (rock layers), trees (tree ring dating). Mostly there are found in rocks or weathered rocks (sands, mud).

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The asteroid's path is a trajectory path which could be called an orbit.

Explanation:

When an object moves along a curved path or circular path, a centripetal force is required to sustain it in the path. The forms atrajectory path in which the object continues to move when no external forces are applied.

The Sun applies a gravitational force (centripetal force) on the asteroid after it got bumped from the spot on Jupiter. This force applied constrained it to move in the long oval shape every 15 years continuously. The long oval shape is in a form of trajectory path which could be called an orbit. Therefore, we can say that the asteroid orbits around the Sun and completes the path every 15 years.
