Question

In our solar system, the inter-planetary region has chunks of matter (much smaller in size compared to planets) called asteroids. They, will not move around the sun, since they have very small masses compared to the sun, will move in an irregular way because of their small masses and will drift away into outer space, will move around the sun in closed orbits but not obey Kepler's laws, will move in orbits like planets and obey Kepler's laws

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Asteroids are also being acted upon by central gravitational forces, hence Asteroid will move in circular orbits like planets and obey Kepler's laws.
