Asteroid

The video tutorial explores asteroids, their origins, and characteristics. It explains that asteroids are rocky metallic objects left over from the solar system's formation, influenced by Jupiter's gravity. Asteroids vary in size and are often found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The belt is divided into an inner and outer section, with different compositions. Some asteroids cross Earth's orbit, known as near-Earth asteroids, which have impacted Earth in the past. NASA monitors these to prevent future collisions. The video concludes by prompting viewers to consider the possibility of human visits to asteroids.
