30 Interesting Facts about… Asteroids, Meteoroids and Comets
Asteroids- How Far Apart are They in the Belt? Flying through the asteroid belt isn't dangerous (It's not at all like in the movies with a dense field of huge imposing spinning rocks). These asteroids are spread over such an enormously large amount of space that the chances of you hitting one would be extremely low.
Asteroids-How Where they Formed? During the beginning of the universe, two bodies would collide and stick together, eventually creating a planet or a asteroid (the only difference is that planets had more mass)
Asteroids- Accretion? The process that helped form the planets and asteroids is called accretion.
Most asteroids are covered in a dust called regolith Asteroid Dust?
Asteroids- Are Planets the only ones with moons?
