ASTEROIDS
What exactly is an asteroid?
Asteroids are actually considered to be "minor" planets that travel in elliptical orbits that are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
As it is seen on the picture to the left, asteroids are contained to their orbit which is named the asteroid belt.  It is here that we find almost all asteroids.
