five lines on asteroids
Answers
An asteroid is a space rock. It is a small object in the Solar System that travels around the Sun. It is like a planet but smaller. They range from very small (smaller than a car) to 600 miles (1000 km) across. A few asteroids have asteroid moon.
The name "asteroid" means "like a star" in the ancient Greek language. Asteroids may look like small stars in the sky, but they really do move around the Sun, while stars only seem to move because the Earth spins. Like planets, asteroids do not make their own light. Because of this, some people think "asteroids" is not a good name, and think that the name "planetoid" ("like a planet") would be a better name.
Giuseppe Piazzi found the first asteroid, in 1801. He called it Ceres, and it is the biggest object in the asteroid belt. Others, like Juno, Pallas, and Vesta were found later. In the 1850s so many had been found, that they were numbered by a Minor planet designation starting with 1 Ceres. Today, astronomers using computerized telescopes find thousands of asteroids every month. Asteroid impact prediction is one of the purposes.

Asteroids are thought to be leftover material from the formation of our Solar System.
Most are found in the Asteroid Belt, a doughnut-shaped ring which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Astronomers have also identified a group of asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit.
Asteroids range in size from Vesta-the largest at about 329 miles (529 km ) wide—to bodies that are just a few feet ...
