Asteroids are solid, rocklike masses known as minor planets or planetoids. Scientists believe that some asteroids are the remains of the solar system's formation. They orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter. They rotate in the same direction as the planets. Most asteroids appear to have an irregular shape and are less than 1 kilometer in length.
