    Asteroids are large rocky bodies that orbit the sun, ranging in size from 1m to 1000km. They are made of stones and metals like iron and nickel, and have cold temperatures around -73°C. Asteroids form a belt between Mars and Jupiter but some orbit outside this belt. While most asteroids orbit the sun at around 25km/s, collisions with large asteroids can disrupt orbits and potentially cause destruction if Earth is impacted.

    An asteroid is a large metal &

    rocky body that travels around


    the Sun in its own orbit
    Size of asteroid range from
    1m to 1000km, it made from
    stones, metals such as iron
    & nickle
    Cold temperature approximately
    -73°C

    it travel around the Sun at speed


    25km s-1
    Asteroid form an
    asteroid belt
    between the orbits
    of Mars & Jupitor
    Large asteroid such
    as Ceres, Pallas,
    Juno & Vesta have
    diameter of few km
    to 1000km. Asteroid
    also known as small
    planets in the solar
    system
    There are some
    asteroid are
    outside of asteroid
    belt such as the
    orbit of Apollo,
    Amor & Aten
    Asteroid move at average
    speed of 25km s -1
