Often some asteroid keeps passing close to the Earth. In today and tomorrow many asteroids are going to come closer to Earth. One of these asteroids is so big the size of an airplane that it is going to pass by the side of the Earth. Asteroids are also called minor planets because they also revolve around the Sun. Asteroids are composed of rocky remnants left over from the early formation of our Solar System about 4.6 billion years ago. Scientists have detected 11 lakh 13 thousand 527 asteroids so far.
