Asteroids are small rocky l bodies orbiting sun.
Explanation:
Largset may be 900 kilometer in size and mostly very small ones
They orbit in Sun between Mars and Jupiter...THis area is known as Asteroid belt,
Picture about space .com.
When our star Sun was young, small countless planetesimals
orbiting the Sun coalesced, conjoined and aggregated to form
bigger planetoids, larger midget planets and very large
planets..
Smaller starfish like rocky planetoids are called asteroids
Most of the known asteroids are orbiting the Sun, in-between the
orbits of Mars and Jupiter..
Sans satellites and rings of their own system, by definition,
planets had cleared such smaller orbiters, at the least, in
the space between (nearest-to-Sun) perihelion and ( farthest-from-
Sun ) aphelion.
Very large Ceres, recent discovery Vesta and very massive Apophis
are notable, among the innumerable asteroids.
