What are asteroids? An asteroid is a large rock in outer space. Some, like Ceres, can be very large, while others are as small as a grain of sand.Due to their smaller size, asteroids do not have enough gravity to pull themselves into the shape of a ball.Astronomers group asteroids into different categories based on the way they reflect sunlight. The asteroid belt is divided into an inner belt and an outer belt.ue to their smaller size, asteroids do not have enough gravity to pull themselves into the shape of a ball.

List of exceptional asteroids. Ceres is the largest and most massive asteroid and the only one that is a dwarf planet. Vesta is the brightest and second-most-massive asteroid. It suffered a crust-penetrating impact approximately one billion years ago. The following is a collection of lists of exceptional asteroids in the Solar System. For the purposes of this article asteroid means minor planet up to the orbit of Jupiter, which includes the dwarf planet Ceres. For a complete list of minor planets in numerical order, see List of minor planets. Asteroids are given a unique sequential identifying number once their orbit is precisely determined. Prior to this, they are known only by their systematic name or provisional designation, such as 1950
