Just like every planet, dwarf planet, comet, and every other member of the solar system,
each asteroid orbits the sun in a closed, curved elliptical orbit, with the sun located
at one focus of the ellipse. There are no perfectly circular orbits, but if there were one,
the sun would be at the center of the circle.
Although there are exceptions, the most typical asteroid orbits lie completely between
the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Concerning asteroids in that kind of orbit, you might say
that they surround Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, but everything else in the solar system
lies outside their orbits.
What else can I help you with?
What orbits around the sun and the objects?
Planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets all orbit around the sun in our solar system. Moons also orbit around planets and some dwarf planets in the solar system.
What is a system in which planets moons asteroids orbit a star?
A solar system
Which objects in the solar system orbit directly around the sun and which don't?
The planets,asteroids,and comets. There is nothing that doesn't orbit the sun.
What bodies in the solar system orbit between orbit between mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids
What is the Sun's solar system?
The Sun's solar system comprises the planets, asteroids, comets and dust which orbit the Sun.
How do you use the solar system in a sentence?
Today we had to turn our projects in about the 3d solar system.
A star and all the objects that orbit it are?
A star and all the objects that orbit it are part of a solar system. The star is typically at the center of the system, and objects such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets orbit around it due to its gravitational pull. These objects together form a dynamic and interconnected system.
What are the members of the solar system that travel around the sun?
Everything in the solar system other than the sun itself is in orbit around the sun. This includes planets (such as the one we live on), asteroids, and comets.
What is a synonym for solar system?
The Sun together with planets, asteroids and comet which orbit it.
Do all solar system objects go around the Sun?
Yes, all solar system objects, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, orbit around the Sun due to its gravitational pull. The Sun is at the center of the solar system, and all objects within it are bound to orbit around it in a specific path.
Is it true that a star with its orbiting planets is the solar system?
Yes, the solar system consists of a large central star (called the sun for our solar system), with planets that ore in orbit around it. There are other bodies in orbit around the sun also, such as minor planets, asteroids, comets, and other small objects.
Where can the asteroids be found in the solar system other than the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter?
There a number of places:Apollo ring [See related link] which orbit the EarthThe Trojans, Greeks and Hildas which are basically in Jupiter's orbit. [See related link for a pictorial]Most asteroids inhabit the inner solar system, but there will be other astroids in the outer solar system, but not in such concentrations.
