The correct option for the statement “Asteroids orbit the”.
Answer to Problem 9RAT
The correct option for the statement “Asteroids orbit the” is option (c).
Explanation of Solution
Asteroids are the huge lumps of rocks, or maybe a solid metal that was left as it is in between its proper formation. Most of them orbiting somewhere between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, but there are other similar bodies, but we can’t say them as asteroids.
The asteroids orbit the Sun, they orbit like planets around the Sun but much smaller than planets. Most of the asteroids exist in asteroid belts, which are placed in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids are also found in orbits of some planets and they vary in shape and size.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “Asteroids orbit the” is option (c).
