A scientist is tracking an object orbiting the sun that is found between mars and Jupiter. Which additional feature can be used to determine the object is an asteroid?

Size is the additional feature that determines asteroids.

Explanation:

Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the sun. Although asteroids orbit the sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets. There are lots of asteroids in our solar system. Most of them live in the main asteroid belt which is a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Newton’s universal law of gravitation states that all objects attract each other with a force -directly- proportional to the product of their masses and -inversely- proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. When considering objects on the surface of the Earth, the force is -away from directly-proportional to the product of the mass of the object and the -acceleration- due to -gravity-at the Earth’s surface. Since the Earth is -larger- than ant object under consideration, the object is drawn -toward- the Earth.
