  • Asteroids: Understanding the Solar System's Rocky Remnants
    That's a great description of an asteroid.

    Here's a little more about asteroids:

    * Location: They mostly reside in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but some have orbits that bring them closer to the Sun or Earth.

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

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

    * Formation: They are remnants from the early solar system that never formed into a planet.
