Where are the Apollo asteroids located?

Almost all of them are located in the "asteroid belt", this is a region between Mars and Jupiter. However, there are many asteroids all over the solar system in their own orbit around the Sun. The third law of planetary motion published by Kepler in 1619 captures the relationship between the distance of planets from the Sun, and their orbital periods. This supports a common notion among scientists that there was a planet between mars an Jupiter that was either not formed or disintegrated. These "stones" are the asteroids Joseph Muchoki

What are the names of the asteroids that cross Earth's orbit and Jupiter's orbit?

Main Belt asteroids -- a band of asteroids located in the "missing planet" gap between Mars and Jupiter. None of these are economically attractive in a near term program because they are too far from Earth.Amor asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits approach but do not cross Earth orbit, and whose orbits are further from the Sun than Earth's orbit (i.e., "outside-t" Earth orbit). Many have orbits which reside entirely between Earth and Mars. Some of these are economically attractive in the near term.Apollo asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Apollo asteroids spend most of their time outside Earth orbit. Many of these are economically attractive in the near term.Aten asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Unlike Apollos, Atens spend most of their time inside Earth orbit. A large percentage of known Atens are economically attractive in the near term.
