Description
ASTEROID by PainterArtistFIN
Asteroids are in fact miniature planets in our own Solar System. They have their own orbits around the Sun and they rotate on their axis just like the Earth.
All asteroids are not the same, they are, roughly the same shape (the larger ones are like a stretched out ball because they have their own gravity, just like the Earth) as other asteroids of the same size but they are made up of different things. This difference allows us to divide them up into different groups depending on what they are made of.
Sometimes an asteroid, just like the Earth, can have it's own satellite circling it. These are known as binary asteroids.
At one time it was believed that asteroids were what was left of a planet which was destroyed. This is no longer believed to be true. It is now thought that the are like space junk, they are made of all the material in our solar system that was left over when the planets formed, besides there isn't even enough material in all the asteroids put together to equal the moon.
