The Minor Planet :- Asteroid

Asteroid

↦  Asteroids are minor Planets,especially of the inner solar system.Larger Asteroids have also been called Planatoids.
          ⌚ As minor planets in the outer solar system were discovered they were typically found to have Volatile reach surfaces to similar comments.
 
          ⌛ There exist millions of asteroids, many thought to be the shattered remnants of Planetesimals.
                               

         ⌘ There are many types of Asteroids in outer space but the main Asteroids are:-
               1) C  - type
               2) M  -type
               3) S  - type

௮:- C - type Asteroids:- C Type ( carbonaceous ) asteroids are the most common variety, forming around 75% of known asteroids. They are distinguished by a very low albedo because their composition includes a large amount of carbon, in addition to rocks and minerals.

M - type Asteroids:-  M - type of asteroids are partially known composition, they are moderately bright.some M- type of Asteroids made of  Nickel-Iron. M - type of spectra are flat to reddish and usually devoid of large features.

       👉 S- type Asteroids : S - type Asteroids are asteroids with a spectral type that is indicative of a sellicious mineralogical composition, hence the name approximately 17% of asteroids are of this type.making of the most valuable after C type asteroids.

Asteroid Belt:-  The Asteroid belt is the circumstellar disc in the solar system located roughly between the orbit of the planets Mars and Jupiter.
