Asteroids

Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. Unlike planets, asteroids are irregularly shaped and lack atmospheres. Composed mainly of rock and metal, they are remnants from the early solar system. Some asteroids have moons, and a few occasionally cross Earth's orbit, posing potential impact risks. Scientific study of asteroids provides insights into planetary formation and the solar system's history.
