During the formation of the Solar System, smaller particles in the solar nebula combined to form planetesimals, some of which provided the building blocks for planets. The majority of planetesimals did not become planets, however, and some of them remain in the Solar System today as debris left over from the time of planet formation. Asteroids are a special class of planetesimals that orbit around the Sun. Study the distribution of known asteroids shown in this figure, and choose all of t...
