Asteroid

Whenever we talk about solar system, we study only about the sun and planets.  But have you thought that beyond these, there is a more interesting celestial body in the solar family.
 Such as - astroid, comets, meteoroids, nebula, etc.
 In this article, we will study about astroid which is an important part of our solar family.

"According to scientist's , it is believed that the astroids has a significant contribution to the current state of the Earth. Asteroids are small planets that are found, especially between Mars and the orbiter of Jupiter, these asteroids relove around the Sun . The orbit that revolves in the orbit is called the asteroid belt. The asteroids which are large in size are called planetoids.
Scientists did a lot of reserch on astroids and say that astroid is made of minerals and rock.
The largest asteroid discovered till date is the 4 vesta which was discovered in 1807, this asteroid
 The diameter is 525 km.

Scientists has divided them mainly into three parts for the classification of astroids.

 C-type
 M-type
 S-type

 ● C -type: -
 
C -type is the most common variety of astroids.  c-type astroids are also called carbonaceous astroid.  Approximately 80% of the asteroid belt is present in the c-type asteroid belt.  It is mostly made of carbon and some amount of minerals and rock.  The composition of c-type asteroids is about 75% of carbon and 25% is mineral and rock.  This type of asteroid is found on the outer edges of the astroid belt.
               
                   
The brightest c-type so far is the Astroid 324 Bamborga.  And the largest c-type astroid is 10-Higi.

 ● m-type:-
   
The asteroids of M-type are medium bright.  This type of asteroids are mainly made of nickel and iron and some amount of stone is also in their composition.


     The largest m-type asteroid  is 16-psyche.

 ● s-type:-
   
The composition of S-type astroid is of siliconic mineralogical type.  About 17% of astroid is s-type.  These types of asteroids are made of iron and megnisium silicate.


      The largest s-type asteroid is the 15-Yunumia which is 330 km in diameter.

 This asteroid is composed of a mixture of the following astroids
 3 Juno
 29 amfitrit
 532 harkulina
 7 isis

 These are the three main types of asteroids.  Which are found in the asteroid belt.
