They are much younger than the rest of the solar system



Answer :

The asteroids are about the same age as the rest of the solar system.

   Rock-filled spacecraft called asteroids orbit the sun but are too tiny to be referred to as planets. They go by the names planetoids or small planets as well. Asteroids are in the millions and range in size from hundreds of miles to a few feet. The combined mass of all meteorites is less than that of the moon of Earth.

    Asteroids are remains from the time when our solar system first formed, some 4.6 billion years ago. Early on, Jupiter's formation prohibited any planetary bodies from developing in the space between Mars and Jupiter. As a result, the small objects that were already present collided and broke apart, eventually producing the asteroids we know today.
