Asteroids and the
Asteroid Belt
Asteroids orbit the Sun in many parts of the solar system. Most of them are in a
huge area known as the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is between the orbits of
Mars and Jupiter. In this area, millions of asteroids form a vast, donut-shaped ring
.

Advances in Meteoroid and Meteor Science
They derive from two source regions: the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter
and the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune, specifically its Scattered Disc. Some of the
planetesimals that were formed in the region between Jupiter and Neptune can ...

10.4.10 Origin of the asteroid belt The existence of the asteroid belt raises many
interesting questions relevant to the origin of the solar system. Asteroids accrete
from smaller planetesimals or form from collisions and are not debris from an ...

An Introduction to the Solar System
Over one hundred thousand asteroids have been detected, with over thirty
thousand having well determined orbits, most of these occupying the asteroid
belt between about 2 and 4 AU from the Sun (between the orbits of Mars and
Jupiter, ...

Meteors in the Earth's Atmosphere: Meteoroids and Cosmic ...
The asteroid belt shows a stratification of spectral properties as a function of
heliocentric distance [Bell et al. (1989)], which is intuitively appealing and simple.
Meteoriticists readily accepted it. Matching of asteroid and meteorite reflectance ...

The Solar System Beyond Neptune
So how does the Kuiper belt compare to the asteroid belt in terms of its collisional
and dynamical evolution? Evidence and modeling for the asteroid belt suggest
that dynamical depletion, rather than collisional erosion, was primarily ...

Asteroid: Earth Destroyer Or New Frontier?
What were the conditions that persisted in the early asteroid belt? One theory
states that several large planetesimals passed too close to Jupiter. Gravitationally
scattered into eccentric orbits, the planetesimals fell into the present asteroid belt
...

Asteroid Rendezvous: NEAR Shoemaker's Adventures at Eros
Over millions of years, hand-sized and boulder-sized bodies drift with respect to
the more stable orbits of larger asteroids, until they enter a so-called "resonant
escape hatch" and are chaotically extracted from the main asteroid belt into ...

oligarchic growth of embryos in the asteroid belt had been substantially
completed. As discussed in Turrini et al. (2011) and the paper by Coradini et al. (
2011, this issue) ...

Encyclopedia of the Solar System
A smooth interpolation of the amount of solid material needed to form the inner
planets and the gas giants would place about 2 Earth masses in the asteroid belt.
Even if most of this mass was lost at an early stage, the surface density of solid ...
