Answer 3

(1) Asteroids are smaller than planets but bigger than meteoroids. (2) Made of metal or rock, most asteroids are part of the famed "asteroid belt." (3) This large group of asteroids orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter. (4) It takes asteroids 3 to 6 Earth years to orbit once around the Sun.
(5) The asteroids in the asteroid belt are held in their orbit by the gravitational force of Jupiter. (6) This powerful force pulls the asteroids away from the Sun. (7) Sometimes, the gravity of another planet is so strong that it pulls an asteroid out of its orbit. (8) When that happens, it begins orbiting that planet instead of the Sun. (9) Some astronomers believe that the two moons of Mars are actually asteroids that were pulled out of orbit by Mars' gravity.
