Space scientists have discovered a lot about the solar system. Apart from 8 planets, a large number of satellites and asteroids are also present in it. Asteroids can also collide with a large celestial body by getting attracted by its gravity. If we look at the size of the Earth itself, its diameter is 12,756…
A large number of asteroids are present in our solar system in space. Thousands of these asteroids revolve in their orbit around the Earth and its surroundings. Asteroids of the Apollo group are present near the Earth, about which NASA says that their orbit is very large and they intersect the Earth’s orbit. That’s why…
