An asteroid is a small rocky object that orbits the Sun. Most asteroids are found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but they can also be found throughout the solar system.
An asteroid belt is were large and small rocks orbit the sun.This belt is located in between Mars and Jupiter.
astroids are big rock things that are floating in space they are also big

What effect did the astriod have on the eartrh?
The asteroid impact that led to the extinction of dinosaurs had a profound effect on Earth, causing widespread devastation, including fires, tsunamis, and a "nuclear winter" effect due to the dust and debris blocking sunlight. This event ultimately led to the mass extinction of approximately 75% of all species on Earth, creating ecological opportunities for the rise of mammals.
What is the astriod belt?
The asteroid belt is a region of space located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter that contains a large number of irregularly shaped rocky bodies called asteroids. It is believed to be the remaining material from the early solar system that never coalesced into a planet.
Why did the asteroid is between planet mars and Jupiter?
The asteroid belt is a failed planet, the material on that orbit never managed to clump together into a planet because Jupiter's gravity kept the material stirred up, every time Jupiter passes the material that's trying to coagulate is pulled outwards again, and the result is a belt of asteroids. Jupiter can also rattle some of these asteroids loose and send them flying around the solar system for a time. most are very small, but at least one is large enough to have become spherical under its own gravity.
What is it called when a huge ball hit the earth?
either a metor or astriod
Where is astriod belt located?
The asteroid belt is located in space. JK! Between the planets Mars and Jupiter.
When is the earth expected to be hit by an astriod that could cause an impact strong enough to create a second ice age?
in about 2032
Is mars made of mostly gases and rock?
No Mars is a planet made completely made out of rock.One way to prove this is because it is on the inside of the Astriod Belt.
Is the astriod belt before Jupiter?
yes it is because it is jupiter is called an outer planet and outer planets are named because they are before the asteroid belt. My answer is YES!
Where is Mordrid in Poptropica?
on a mystrious planet in space to the left of space in the astriod belt u can only acess after u beat the fire, ice, and jungle planets
What do you do once you finish all the islands on astro knighs?
go to co-ordinates x15 y84 in the astriod belt and go to the castle thing on the meteor tthere you will fight the Mordred guy
Were was the last glacier?
There is no Last Glacier, the last ice age before the astriod that killed the dinos but 15000 years ago most of the Glaciers covered most of north america, then they started melting back, leaving the great lake and such.
How was the astriod belt was formed?
It formed around the same time as the other planets. However - the gravity pull of Jupiter exerted so much influence - that the rocks in the asteroid belt couldn't 'gel' together to form a solid planet.
What orbits the sun like planets?
Objects that orbit the Sun like planets include dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and even artificial satellites. These objects follow distinct paths within the solar system and are influenced by the gravitational pull of the Sun.
What comes after Venus?
Jupiter. Or if you want to know what form comes after mars, It would be the astriod belt.
Why doesn't the earth hit something as it orbits the sun?
Gravity. The suns gravity holds the planets in place. Astroids don't usually reach us weirdly enough. If you would like to read about it the book "life as we knew it" Is a good book about an astriod hitting the moon, and the effects on the people.
