Asteroid

Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun. They can be found in various distances and sizes.

Asteroids were formed from the building blocks of planets, such as silicate minerals and metals.

The composition of an asteroid is largely determined by its size and shape. Smaller asteroids are more likely to have been captured from the early solar system.

Asteroids can be classified into different types based on their composition, such as C-type or S-type.
