Asteroids Are small, airless rocky worlds
revolving around the sun that are too small to be called planets. They are also known as planetoids or minor planets.
Most asteroids lie in a vast ring between the orbits of mars and jupiter. This main asteroid belt holds more than 200 asteroids larger than 60 miles (100 kilometers) in diameter.

Asteroids are also categorized by their position in the solar system

orbit the sun that is neither a planet nor exclusively classified as comet.

Major planet Any of the 9 large celestial bodies in
the solar system that revolve around the sun & shine by reflected light major planet.

Ceres Is the largest object in the asteroid
belt that lies between the orbits of Mars & Jupiter. Its diameter is approximately 945 kilometer or 875miles.

Giuseppe Piazzi Was an italian Catholic priest of the
Theatine Order, mathemetician & astronomer. Perhaps his most famous discovery was the 1st dwarf planet is CERES.

The 4 terrestrial or innermost planets have dense, rocky compositions, few or no moons & no ring systems, they are composed largely of refractory minerals , such as the silicates, which form their crusts & mantles & metals, such as iron & nickel, which from their cores.
Planetoids is another term for asteroids, which are also called MINOR PLANETS. Planetoids are small celestial bodies that orbit the sun.

Asteroids-planetoids; were discovered in 1801, & manymore have been discovered since then up until 1977, almost all the asteroids discovered were near JUPITER.
Some of the largests planetoids are spherical & look like tiny version of PLANETS.
Most Planetoids are in region called the ASTEROID BELTS which is situated between MARS & JUPITER. There are millions of Planetoids in this Region.

Asteroid Belt : Is the Circumstellar disc in the Solar
System located roughly between the planets MARS & JUPITER.

Trojans Are populations that share an orbit
with larger planet or moon.
