= ASTEROID BELT
ASTEROID BELT

A region of space between the

orbits of Mars and Jupiter where
most of the asteroids in our Solar
System are found orbiting the Sun.
The asteroid belt probably
contains millions of asteroids.
ASTEROIDS
• Also known as minor planets
• The leftovers from the
formation of Solar system
• Composed of dust, rocks
and metals
• Reflects light from the sun
• Lies at the Asteroid belt
• Ceres is the biggest asteroid
ASTEROIDS
CLASSIFICATION
1.) C-type or carbonaceous asteroids
•Grayish in color
•More than 75 percent of known asteroids
• Consist of clay and stony silicate rocks
2.) S-type or silicaceous asteroids
•Greenish to reddish in color
•Account for about 17 percent of known asteroids
•Made of silicate materials and nickel-iron.
3.) M-type or metallic asteroids
•Reddish in color
•Make up most of the rest of the asteroids
•Made up of nickle-iron.
