that there are really millions of planets orbiting the Sun? Apart from nine “proper” planets‚ there are a few million‚ minor ones‚ called asteroids. These are different chunks of rock‚ which range from specks of dust to those which are a few kilometres across. Most of them travel in an orbit between Mars and Jupiter called the asteroid belt. Others follow different orbits. In the 18th century‚ astronomers were convinced that a missing world existed between Mars and Jupiter. A search was mounted and
