The 42 pages that link to Asteroid, each with the reason it gives.

• MeteoriteNarrower topic: Many meteorites are fragments of asteroids broken apart by collisions.

• Asteroid beltNarrower topic: The belt is defined by the concentration of these bodies.

• Chicxulub craterNarrower topic: The impactor is often described as an asteroid, while its exact nature and composition remain uncertain.

• Planetary defenseNarrower topic: Most monitored impact threats are asteroids.

• Near-Earth objectNarrower topic: Most near-Earth objects are asteroids, making this the main object type in the category.

• Jupiter-family cometNarrower topic: The broader small-body category clarifies how cometary activity distinguishes these objects from most asteroids.

• Kirkwood gapNarrower topic: The gaps describe the distribution of asteroids by orbital distance.

• Chicxulub impactorNarrower topic: The impactor is generally understood to have been an asteroid rather than a comet.

• Chicxulub impactNarrower topic: The impactor is generally identified as an asteroid, though its exact composition and source remain uncertain.

• MeteorNarrower topic: Asteroids can be the parent bodies of meteoroids that later produce meteors.

• ChondriteNarrower topic: Most chondrites are fragments of asteroids broken free by impacts.

• Asteroid collisionNarrower topic: Asteroids are the bodies whose mutual impacts define this event.

• 4 VestaNarrower topic: Vesta belongs to this broad population of Solar System bodies.

• Co-orbital configurationNarrower topic: Asteroid surveys revealed many of the Solar System’s known co-orbital populations.

• 2 PallasNarrower topic: Pallas is one of the largest objects classified as an asteroid.

• Meteoric ironNarrower topic: Many iron meteorites are fragments of asteroids disrupted by collisions.

• 10 HygieaNarrower topic: Hygiea is unusually large among the bodies commonly grouped under this broad term.

• 3 JunoNarrower topic: Juno belongs to this broad class of small Solar System bodies.

• Heinrich Wilhelm Matthias OlbersNarrower topic: Olbers’s discoveries helped establish asteroids as a population beyond the single known object Ceres.

• Moons of MarsNarrower topic: The moons’ asteroid-like appearance has encouraged comparisons with captured small bodies.
