Question

2. Describe asteroids and their orbits in the solar system.

Answer 1

Answer:

Asteroids, often known as minor planets, are stony, airless leftovers of our solar system's early development about 4.6 billion years ago.

The majority of this ancient space junk may be found in the main asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids range in size from Vesta, the largest at 329 miles (530 kilometers) in diameter, to asteroids as small as 33 feet (10 meters). The cumulative mass of all asteroids is less than that of the Earth's Moon.
