Answer :

Spacecraft like Galileo survived their trip through the asteroid belt even in the presence of a million asteroids because 3) although there are many asteroids, they are widely spaced (there is lots of space between them).

In the field of physics, asteroids can be described as minor planets or small rocks that are present in space. These small planets are present in huge numbers in space.

However, the distance between asteroids is so much that spacecraft such as Galileo were easily able to survive their trips to the asteroid belt.

The asteroid belt region is present in between the planets Jupiter and Mars. Although there are many asteroids in this region however the distance between them is wide.

Although a part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this question:

If there are at least a million asteroids, how did spacecraft like Galileo survive their trip through the asteroid belt?

1) NASA sends its spacecraft above and below the orbits of the asteroids in the belt to avoid collisions

2) spacecraft use a magnetic repulsion tool to make sure asteroids do not come too close

3) although there are many asteroids, they are widely spaced (there is lots of space between them)

4) the known asteroids are typically less than a centimeter across, so they do not represent a danger to spacecraft

5) you can't fool me, NASA has lost over a dozen spacecraft to collisions with asteroids
