| Description: The Kirkwood Gaps This graph displays the number of asteroids at various distances from the Sun. Note that few asteroids have orbital periods that correspond to such simple fractions as 1⁄3, 2⁄5, 3⁄7, and 1⁄2 of Jupiter’s orbital period. Resonant orbits with Jupiter have deflected asteroids away from these orbits. The Trojan asteroids accompany Jupiter as it orbits the Sun Picture Stats: Views: 548 Filesize: 49.87kB Height: 264 Width: 288 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=18239 |
