  • Asteroids: Understanding the Rocky Objects in Our Solar System

    * Location: Most asteroids reside in the asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

    * Size: Asteroids range in size from a few meters across to hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

    * Composition: They are mostly made of rock, metal, and ice.

    * Number: There are millions of asteroids, and scientists estimate that there are likely billions more that haven't been discovered yet.
