In our solar system, the inter-planetery region has chunks of matter (much smaller in size compared to planets) called asteriods. They

A

will not move around the sun since they have very small masses compared to sun.

B

will move in an irregular way because of their small masses and will drift away into outer space.

C

will move around the sun in closed orbits but not obey Kepler's laws.

D

will move in orbits like planets and obey kepler's laws.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
