6 Read the information about the Solar System.
 Earth is one of the eight major planets in the Solar System.

 Before 1554 the only known planets were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

 In 1608 the first simple telescope was invented by Lippershey.

 In 1781 Uranus was discovered by Herschel.

 In 1801 Piazzi discovered the first asteroid.

 Sometime later a ring of asteroids was discovered in orbit between Mars and Jupiter. This is called the
asteroid belt.

 Asteroids vary in size and shape.

 In 1846 Neptune was discovered by Galle.

Use the information to help you to answer the questions.

(a) Suggest why astronomers did not discover the asteroid belt until the early 1800s.

(c) (i) What are asteroids made of?

______________________________________________________________________________________ [1]

(ii) Why are asteroids not classified as planets?

______________________________________________________________________________________ [1]

(d) Modern telescopes have a much larger magnification than the first telescopes.
Suggest two ways modern telescopes help to improve our knowledge of asteroids and the asteroid belt.
