Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College5 Debris Asteroids Mostly between Mars and Jupiter. Silicate (rocky) predominate inner region Carbonaceous more common as you move out Meteoroids - Little Asteroids Micrometeoroids - Really little ones (dust) Often follow comet paths Comets - Dirty Snowballs

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College6 Chapter 4 Asteroid Eros

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College7 Asteroids (Minor Planets) Most are in the “Asteroid belt” between Mars (1.5 AU) and Jupiter (5.2 AU). Largest is Ceres (940 km in diameter). Orbits generally more elliptical than planets Trojan asteroids - in stable orbits 60° ahead of and behind Jupiter. Vesta -

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College11 Asteroid Density How close are the Asteroids to each other?

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College12 Asteroid Density How close are the Asteroids to each other? Number of known asteroids ~100,000. Distance from sun 2-4 A.U.

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College13 Asteroid Density How close are the Asteroids to each other? Number of known asteroids ~100,000. Distance from sun 2-4 A.U. Area ~  (4AU) 2 -  (2AU) 2 = 8.5x10 17 km 2 Say there are really lots more… (~1,000,000,000) Then each one still gets 8.5x10 8 km 2

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College14 Asteroid Density How close are the Asteroids to each other? Number of known asteroids ~100,000. Distance from sun 2-4 A.U. Area ~  (4AU) 2 -  (2AU) 2 = 8.5x10 17 km 2 Say there are really lots more… (~1,000,000,000) Then each one still gets 8.5x10 8 km 2 Distance = 3x10 4 km (~2.5x diameter of Earth)

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College24 Comets Dirty snowballs

Charles Hakes Fort Lewis College25 Comets Nucleus Dirty Snowballs - “dirt” accumulates on surface Often only a few km in diameter Coma Bright part around the nucleus Could be 100,000 km in diameter Tail Could be up to 1 A.U. in length! Ion Tail - points directly away from the Sun Dust Tail - points away from Sun, but “drags” a bit. Hydrogen Envelope - surrounds all, but not visible
