Asteroids

Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They vary in size from tiny pebbles to large bodies that can be hundreds of kilometers in diameter. Composed mainly of rock and metal, asteroids are remnants from the early solar system that never coalesced into planets. Some have irregular shapes, while others can be more spherical depending on their mass and composition. Asteroids can provide valuable scientific information regarding the early solar system and the formation of planetary bodies. They can also pose potential threats to Earth if they follow orbits that intersect with our planet’s path.
