What else can I help you with?
Can holes be of different shape do they necessarily have to be round?
Please clarify this qestion.
What are asteroids larger than?
Asteroids larger than 1 km in diameter are known as planetesimals, while those over 100 km are considered minor planets. Asteroids larger than 1,000 km are usually classified as dwarf planets if they have enough mass for gravity to shape them into a round shape.
Why do scientist think the asteroids will never form into planets?
Scientists believe that asteroids will never form into planets because the gravitational forces are not strong enough to bring them together to form a rounded shape like planets have. Additionally, asteroids' orbits often intersect with other celestial bodies, which prevents them from accumulating mass to form a planet.
Are asteroids bigger or smaller than planets?
Planets are generally bigger than asteroids. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit a star, have cleared their orbit of other debris, and are spherical in shape due to their gravity. Asteroids are smaller rocky or metallic bodies that primarily exist in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, although they can be found throughout the solar system.
Asteroids have irregular what?
Asteroids have irregular shapes due to their formation process and lack of gravitational forces to pull them into a spherical shape.
Are asteroids mostly round like planets or are they all different shapes?
Asteroids are all different shapes and sizes.
How do features on asteroids help name it?
on their size and shape
How do use asteroid in a sentence?
asteroids are big in the shape
How do you use asteroid in a sentence?
Scientists study asteroids to better understand the early solar system.
How do you asteroids differ from earth?
Asteroids are much smaller, and have very little, if any, atmosphere. They also do not have enough gravity to bring them into a ball shape, so they remain erratic in shape.
What makes asteroids different from dwarf planets?
You can consider a dwarf planet to be a special case from an asteroid - one that has achieved hydrostatic equilibrium, which basically means that it has enough gravity to force it into a round shape.
Why planets are round in shape?
Planets are round in shape due to gravity. Gravity pulls the planet's mass towards its center, causing the planet to become spherical as this shape allows for the most equal distribution of mass. Over time, the force of gravity compacts the planet into a round shape.
