Is Eris orbiting the Sun?
Yes.But it orbiting it from 6,000,000,000 miles.It by the Scattered Disc.
Where are asteroids or planetoids found?
Many are in the Asteroid Belt, which is between Mars and Jupiter. There are also many scattered throughout the solar system, orbiting the Sun. A number of icy asteroids and planetoids are found in the Kuiper Belt, past the orbit of Neptune.
What are the planets in the scattered disc?
The scattered disk beyond the orbit of Neptune doesn't contain any true planets as such, but a number of icy minor planets (like Sedna), the largest known of which is Eris (which is larger than Pluto).
Where are the dwarf planets in your solar system?
One of the dwarf planets, Ceres, is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and shares its orbit with millions of small rocky objects or asteroids. All the rest we know about are called plutoids (after Pluto), are largely made of ice and are in the Kuiper Belt and Scattered Disc, regions filled with icy bodies out beyond the planet Neptune. The Kuiper Belt goes from 30-50 times farther from the Sun than Earth is, the Scattered Disc goes out from 50-100 times further from the Sun than Earth. That's very far away! It's possible that there are other dwarf planets beyond that but we haven't yet found any.
What does the word asteroid belt mean?
The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is occupied by numerous irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. The asteroid belt region is also termed the main belt to distinguish it from other concentrations of minor planets within the Solar System, such as the Kuiper belt and scattered disc.

What do comets and asteroids not have in common?
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
Why is it good that most asteroids are in the same plane as the earth?
The fact that most asteroids are in the same plane as Earth, known as the ecliptic plane, is beneficial for a couple of reasons. First, it makes it easier for astronomers to observe and study these asteroids. Second, it reduces the likelihood of catastrophic asteroid collisions with Earth, as they are confined to this plane rather than randomly scattered throughout space. This alignment allows for more efficient monitoring and tracking of these objects.
What are small planets with orbits between mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids
How many asteroids crashed in Asia?
the asteroids crashed in Asia have 1000 asteroids
What is diffrerence between asteroidea and ophiuroidea?
The main difference between asteroids and ophiuroids is the way that the rays, or arms, attach to the body. In ophiuroids, the arms are not joined to each other and the body and arms are clearly separated, but in the asteroids the arms are joined to each other and the boundary between arms and the central disc is blurred. #CaseyS
What is in an asteroids aptmosphere?
No asteroids have atmospheres.
