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 okey Kepler's law.

D

will move in orbits like planets and okey Kepler's laws.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Asteroids also experience the gravitational pull of sun like other planets, hence they move in orbits like planets and okey Kepler.s laws.
The correct option is (d).
