Asteroids vs. Planetoids!

Asteroid and Planetoid Belts: The terms asteroid and planetoid are effectively synonymous; they mean small or minor planets. Each term refers to a belt of many similar small planets in orbit around the central star.

• For the purposes of differentiation, the term asteroid refers to such a belt when it is the main world of a system. The term planetoid belt refers to such a group of minor planets when another belt or world is the main world in a system.
• Asteroid and planetoid belts typically hold between 1,000 and 10,000 asteroids or planetoids each.

3. Rock class Asteroid Yacht
