Asteroids are small rocky bodies in the Solar System, left over from the formation of the planets, about 4.5 billion years ago. They can range in size from a few meters across, to several hundred kilometers. Ceres is the biggest known asteroid in the Solar System, at 950 km in diameter. Ceres is now classified as a dwarf planet, like Pluto, because it is massive enough that it is pulled into a spherical shape by its own gravity.
