The largest asteroid ever recorded is Ceres, which is also classified as a dwarf planet due to its size and characteristics. Ceres is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and makes up about one-third of the belt's total mass.
the biggest asteroid in recorded history to impact with the earth was 45 km and left a crater or 140 km, 250 million years ago. unfortunetly it is impossible to explore it fully because it is two miles under the surface of Antarctica
The largest asteroid used to be Ceres. Although it is in the asteroid belt, it is a sphere shape and is now a dwarf planet not an asteroid. It is 620 miles in diameter and contains nearly a third of all the mass of the asteroid belt combined. The new largest asteroid is Vesta at 530 miles mean diameter it has only 9% of the mass in the asteroid belt. While being considered for dwarf planet-hood, a mass below guidelines for hydrostatic equilibrium, and a large crater on the south pole breaking its spheroid shape have so far kept it off the list.
The largest asteroid is the dwarf planet Ceres. If dwarf planets are not counted, then the next largest is Pallas (by size) or Vesta (by mass).
Ceres is the only dwarf planet and largest asteroid in the inner solar system. It was discovered on New Year's day in 1801 by Giuseppe Piazzi.
Yes. We have had several on record and probably many more that were not recorded.
The largest known asteroid between Mars and Jupiter is Ceres. Ceres is considered a dwarf planet and makes up about one-third of the total mass of the asteroid belt.
the largest asteroid ever found" The largest asteroid is CERES, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is 580 miles (930 km) in diameter , about the size of Texas. It accounts for about 25% of the total mass of the belt.
CERES is the first and the biggest asteroids in the solar system
The biggest tumor ever recorded was a cystic teratoma weighing 302 pounds, removed from a patient in 1905. Teratomas are tumors that can contain different types of tissues, such as hair, teeth, or even organs.
