The biggest quilty for the changes of the orbits of the asteroids may be Jupiter, wich is a big planet with very high gravitation, so it can easily change the orbits of the asteroids / parts of asteroids (meteors), and when you once push something to speed in space, it will stop next time, when some bigger piece catches it. In the case of our meteorites this "catcher" is the Earth. take care, pekka CMcdon0923_at_aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 7/11/03 9:39:17 PM Central Daylight Time, GeoZay > writes: > >> magnetic field of the proto-sun, generating heat high enough to melt >> the iron planetesimals in the regions of roughly Mercury out to earth > > > > But the asteroid belt is beyond the earth...so how did that material > suddenly move MANY millions of miles away from the supposed inner orbit? -- Pekka Savolainen Jokiharjuntie 4 FIN-71330 Rasala FINLAND + 358 400 818 912 Group Home Page: http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/eurocoin Group Email Address: eurocoin_at_smartgroups.com --------------020306050100050709090904 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html> <head> </head> <body> <br> The orbital-system in asteroid belt is quite complicated, several "families"<br> have clear orbits and so on.
