Asteroids

{ THE NEVER ENDING WORLD ASTEROIDS } HOW THEY ARE MADE AND HOW MUCH MASS IS THERE!! 1. Asteroids and planets both share a common birth. The process that helped form the planets is called IDK just kidding it's called accretion. You see that during the beginning of the universe when two bodies would say {BOOM!!!} collide they would stick together forming a plus size body. The asteroids and planets were formed in this astronomical occasion...duh duh duh. Obviously the watcha ma call its { planets} accrued more umph {mass} than most of the asteroids.accrued more umph {mass} than most of the asteroids.But as seen by the asteroid {ooh scary} Ceres being a fun size planet some asteroids came very close to garnering enough umph {mass} and generate gravity just enough to possible become planets in their own right.

WHAT MINERALS ARE IN SIDE AND WHAT ROCKS ASTEROIDS BECOME!! 2. Asteroids are made of different minerals & substances. Their composition depends on the planets that they come from...for example my good old teacher Ms.R said that basically asteroids are just big ugly rocks jk! that come from different planets and what ever the planets is made up of that is what the asteroid is.The asteroids nearest to the sun are carbonaceous while the ones further away are composed of silicate rock. The metallic asteroids are made up of 80% eyeron with the rest being nickel with many other medals such as iridium,palladium,platinum,and some itty bitty pieces of goldbon jk {gold}.


 * 3.Most asteroids are covered in dust.** This dust is called regolith. It is a rocky rubble more that dust and is the result of constant collisions in space. These collision are between asteroids and any other body that crosses their path. The larger object wins and ends up covered in the rubble from the losing object. Sometimes space weathering has shown that some asteroids are OC meteorites that are covered in regolith.

SUMMARY OF IT ALL :-) !! An asteroid is a large rock in outer space. Some, like Ceres, can be very large, while others are as small as a grain of sand. Due to their smaller size, asteroids do not have enough gravity to pull themselves into the shape of a ball. Astronomers group asteroids into different categories based on the way they reflect sunlight. The asteroid belt is divided into an inner belt and an outer belt. The inner belt which is made up of asteroids that are within 250 million miles of the Sun contains asteroids that are made of metals.
