They are found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Scientists are of the view that asteroids are parts of a planet which exploded many years back.
- 15. Small pieces of rocks which move around the sun are called meteoroids. Sometimes these meteoroids come near to the earth and tend to drop upon it. During this process due to friction with the air they get heated up and burn. It causes a flash of light which is what we see as Shooting Stars.
