Question 604. Consider the following statements regarding asteroids:
- Asteroids are rocky debris of varying sizes orbiting the Sun.
- Most of the asteroids are small but some have diameter as large as 1000 km.
- The orbit of asteroids lies between orbits of Jupiter and Saturn.
Answer: Option D. -> 1 and 2 only
Answer: (d)Asteroids are rocky debris of varying sizes orbiting the Sun. They are generally small but some have a diameter of 1000 km. Asteroids are minor planets whose orbits lie between Jupiter and Mars.These are said to be the fragments of a larger planet disrupted long ago. Their number is estimated to be 30,000 pieces of rocky debris out of which more than half are known.
