Definition von i., gökb. asteroit, küçük gezegen im Türkisch Englisch wörterbuch

asteroid

A naturally occurring solid object, smaller than a planet, orbiting a star

one of the numerous small planets whose orbits lie between those of Mars and Jupiter; called also planetoids and minor planets

These are small rocky bodies, smaller than planets, these bodies are so small that they do not form spheres, but are irregular in shape Most asteroids can be found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter Some asteroids have high orbital eccentricities and orbital inclination There are collections of asteroids, trapped gravitationally at Jupiter's trojan points

any of numerous small celestial bodies composed of rock and metal that move around the sun (mainly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter) shaped like a star

Small moonlets that orbit the sun They are made of rock and they shine by reflected sunlight Many of them rotate and their irregular shapes cause variations of brightness in a day or so The brightest asteroids are too faint to be seen with the naked eye

(Also "planetoid") These are rocky bodies, the vast majority of which orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter It is thought that there must be around 100,000 in all The largest asteroid is Ceres which has a diameter of 579 miles The smallest detected asteroids have diameters of several hundred feet Together with comets and meteoroids, asteroids make up the minor bodies of the solar system They are considered to be left over planetesimals from the formation of our solar system The gravitational pull of Jupiter is thought to have stopped the members of the asteroid belt from forming a planet

Small, rocky world Most asteroids are between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter See Asteroid, Comet and Meteor Facts page

(also "planetoid") a medium-sized rocky object orbiting the Sun; smaller than a planet, larger than a meteoroid

— Any of the numerous small rocky bodies in orbit around the Sun Most asteroids reside in the "main belt" between Mars and Jupiter, but some have orbits that cross Earth's orbit and could strike its surface

An asteroid is one of the very small planets that move around the sun between Mars and Jupiter. one of the many small planets that move around the sun, especially between Mars and Jupiter (asteroeides , from aster ). Any of the many small rocky objects found mainly in a flat ring, or belt, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It is thought that the gravitational influence of what became Jupiter kept the asteroids from aggregating into a single planet while the solar system was forming. Also called minor planets, asteroids are smaller than any of the nine major planets; only about 30 are more than 125 mi (200 km) across. Ceres is the largest known asteroid. Millions of boulder-sized asteroidal fragments are thought to exist in the solar system. Asteroids or their fragments regularly strike Earth, plunging through the atmosphere as meteors to reach its surface (see meteorite). Asteroids appear to be composed of carbonaceous, stony, and metallic (mainly iron) materials. See also Earth-crossing asteroid; Trojan asteroids

A rocky object orbiting the Sun; smaller than a planet, and larger than a meteoroid, they are considered planetoids Found in the asteroid belt, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter

one of a number of objects ranging in size from sub-kilometer to about 1,000 kilometers, most of which lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter; also called "minor planets"

A rocky body orbiting the Sun is usually greater than 100 m in diameter Most asteroids orbit between Mars and Jupiter, roughly from 2 - 4 AU from the Sun

A starlike body; esp

A naturally occurring solid object, smaller than a planet, orbiting the Sun

{i} small object that orbits the sun

Rocky objects orbiting the Sun not large enough to be considered planets Most are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter Also called meteoroids and minor planets See also: comet, meteor, meteorite, planet

A small body that orbits the sun Most asteroids are thought to be the result of debris left over from the formation of the solar system Most asteroids occur in the region between Mars and Jupiter Collisions among the bodies in the asteroid belt and adjacent planets displace fragments and place them on a collision course with Earth The asteroid belt is thought to be the source of most meteorites

An object orbiting the Sun that is smaller than a major planet (tens of meters to about 1,000 km diameter), but shows no evidence of an atmosphere or other types of activity associated with comets Most asteroids are located in a belt between Mars and Jupiter from 2 2 to 3 3 AU from the Sun

any of numerous small celestial bodies composed of rock and metal that move around the sun (mainly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter)
