Planetoidit
Planetoidit, or planetoids, refer to small, rocky celestial bodies that orbit the Sun, typically found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, though they can also be located in other regions of the solar system. These objects are smaller than planets and moons but larger than meteoroids, generally ranging from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The term "planetoid" is sometimes used interchangeably with "asteroid," though historically, it was applied more broadly to include objects like dwarf planets and other minor planets.
The majority of known planetoids reside in the asteroid belt, a region densely populated with millions of
Planetoids vary widely in composition, often containing silicates, metals, and organic compounds. Their surfaces can be
The study of planetoids provides valuable insights into the early solar system’s formation and the processes
