Answer to Question 1

albedos (reflected brightness) and spectroscopic colors (gray to red)

Answer to Question 2

Astronomers have evidence that the asteroids are the remains of material lying 2 to 4 AU from the Sun that was unable to form a planet because of the gravitational influence of Jupiter, the next planet outward
