What is the name of the asteroid that travels within the orbit of Mars?
There are several asteroids that have orbits that cross the orbits of the inner planets. They are given different class names depending on where their orbits are with respect to Earth. Those with orbits between Earth’s orbit and the asteroid belt, which cross Mars’ orbit, are called Amor asteroids. A famous Amor asteroid is Eros, which was visited by the NEAR spacecraft. Those that cross Earth’s orbit are called Apollo asteroids, and those inside of Earth’s orbit are called Aten asteroids. 5) What subjects do you have to take at school to become a planetary scientist? In high school, I recommend taking as many advanced math and science courses as are offered, as well as classes in the arts since these will build your creativity skills. In college, you have many options. People approach planetary science from many different fields. You could major in astronomy, physics, geology/geophysics, meteorology, or engineering (if you’re interested in building and designing spacecraft). Whichever
