Billions of space rocks-asteroids - orbit the Sun within the inner Solar System. Most are in the Asteroids Belt, which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
There are three main types of asteroids-those made of rock, those made of metal, and those that are a mixture of the two.
When a meteorite collides with Earth, it can form an impact crater on its surface.
