Meteorites, or asteroids in English, keep revolving in space continuously. They are very small in size compared to the planets. Astronomers say that these are pieces of stones left over from the time of formation of the planets which continuously revolve around the Sun or some other planet. But sometimes they start moving towards the…
Meteorites keep revolving in the solar system continuously. These are also called minor planets but sometimes they pose a big threat.

However, it is said to be very unlikely for an asteroid to be as large as a planet. Like other planets, they also revolve…
Space scientists are continuously engaged in gathering information about asteroids. These are said to be the fragments left at the time of the formation of the solar system, which means they could be the remains of the planets themselves. By understanding their structure, scientists can find out how the various planets of the solar system…
Asteroids roaming in space have become the subject of most interest among celestial bodies these days, because these days big rocks in the form of asteroids are passing near the Earth at a speed of millions of kilometers. In such a situation, it becomes very important to keep an eye on these asteroids. Because according…
Asteroids are posing a major threat to the Earth these days. These are small rocky pieces that revolve around the Sun. These are much smaller than the planets. According to NASA, they have been in existence since our solar system was formed 4.6 billion years ago. A large number of asteroids are floating in our…
Minor planets or in English, asteroids continue to move towards the Earth. These days, asteroids, which are also called asteroids, are passing very close to the Earth. They can also grow up to 1500 feet tall. These rocky pieces revolve around the Sun, but they are not classified as planets, because they are much smaller…
The existence of asteroids in space in our solar system is as old as our solar system itself. That means they have been formed ever since our solar system was formed. That is, during the formation of the solar system consisting of the Sun and the planets revolving around it, some rocks were also scattered…
Astronomical objects like stars, planets, satellites, asteroids and meteors are present in space. Apart from the 8 planets of our solar system, a large number of asteroids are also present in it. According to NASA, more than 7 lakh 30 thousand asteroids have been discovered so far, out of which 16000 asteroids are present in…
