Definición

  • An asteroid is a rocky or metallic object, generally smaller than a planet but bigger than a meteoroid, that orbits the Sun or another star. Asteroids are also called minor planets. What had been the largest asteroid, Ceres, has been classified as a dwarf planet. (Encyclopedia of Science, by David Darling, https://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/A/asteroid.html)
