    Asteroids are rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Asteroids are irregular is shape and size. The size varies from few feet to 500 miles across. Majority of the asteroids lie in asteroid belt which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. These are though to be remains of unformed planet about 4.6 billion years ago due to high gravitational pull of Jupiter. The largest asteroid is Ceres which is also a dwarf planet. The mass of the entire asteroid belt is just 4% the mass of the moon.
