Answer:
Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the sun. Although asteroids orbit the sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets. There are lots of asteroids in our solar system. Most of them live in the main asteroid belt—a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

PLEASE thank me dear.

The additional feature that can be used to determine the object is an asteroid is that it has an irregular shape. (Option B)
- They look dark and are presumably made of silicate and clay rocks.
- They are some of the oldest solar system elements.
- Nickel-iron and silicate elements are used to create the "stony" S-types.
- Metal is used in M-types (nickel-iron).
- Asteroids are a legacy of how our solar system was formed.
- A large cloud of gas and dust fell to form our solar system roughly 4.6 billion years ago.
- Most of the material descended to the cloud's centre as a result, creating the sun.
- The main asteroid belt, which lies between Mars and Jupiter, is where the majority of this old space debris can be found orbiting the Sun.
- Vesta, the biggest asteroid, has a diameter of about 329 miles (530 kilometres), but there are also bodies that are only 33 feet (10 metres) across.
Hence, the additional feature that can be used to determine the object is an asteroid is that it has an irregular shape.
