| An asteroid is a minor planet coming in various shapes that orbit around the Sun. 94% of asteroids are in the Asteroid Belt between the planets Mars and Jupiter. The 3 types of asteroids are C-type (carbonaceous), S-type (silicaceous), and M-type (Metallic). C-type asteroids are the most common, making up around 75% of the known asteroids, while M-types make up the least (around 8%). |
