Yes, asteroids orbit Sun, even meteors and comets. But generally, every pieces of asteroid doesn't have orbits, it has a zone. They bump each other until they form into a larger ones. If an asteroid got out of the zone it now move freely into space and crashes into a planet by gravity. Astronomers now detected a planet, or a dwarf planet, or still an asteroid itself, called Ceres

What is The actual shape of earths orbit around the sun is described as?
Ellipse.
How fast can an asteroid go?
Asteroids orbit the sun at several tens of thousands of miles per hour. The speed varies depending on the orbit.
What two things cause the seasons to change on earth?
There are two things that cause it which are the earths orbit and thetilt of the earths axis.
What objects orbit Mars?
and Jupiter. There are lots of small bodies in direct orbit around the sun called the asteroids (the asteroid belt).
How is earths tilted in relation to the sun in each month septemberdecembermarch and June?
Tangent to orbit, north away, tangent to orbit, south away.
Does a asteroid orbit the sun?
Yes. Asteroids orbit the sun.
What are the names of the asteroids that cross Earth's orbit and Jupiter's orbit?
Some asteroids that cross both Earth's and Jupiter's orbits include Apollo asteroids and Amor asteroids. Apollo asteroids have orbits that cross Earth's orbit, while Amor asteroids have orbits that come close to, but do not cross, Earth's orbit.
What is true about asteroids?
Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They vary in size, shape, and composition, and some have the potential to collide with Earth. NASA and other space agencies study asteroids to understand their origins and potential impact hazards.
Do comets orbit asteroids?
No. Comets orbit the sun.
How are asteroids and comets the same?
They both orbit the sun.
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
What do asteroids do around the sun and planets?
orbit
Does asteroids orbit around the sun?
Yes, they does.
Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?
Planets, dwarf planets, moons, comets, and asteroids all orbit the Sun.
What are objects called that orbit the sun in a belt between mars and Jupiter?
The asteroids
What are the object that orbit the sun?
ASTEROIDS
What orbit the Sun like planets do?
Asteroids, Comets
