But you should see there three different confirmations that asteroids are, 
at best, *small* planets (also known as “planetoids”: planet-*like* bodies).

The problem with that term is that since 2006 we have *dwarf* planets that 
have previously been called “asteroids”, like Ceres.

Also, it is not clear whether an “asteroid” or a *meteorite* has caused the 
environmental conditions that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

If only you would read what is being (and I have) posted.

Next time, try an *up-to-date* *scientific* dictionary.

Get a *real* name.

And get a *working* newsreader.  Unicode 1.0.0 was published in 1991.  There 
is *no excuse* for using a newsreader in the 21st century that does not 
support Unicode.  None at all.  See also 
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5536>, “MIME Conformance”.

And *please* stop the mindless crossposting without Followup-To across 4 
newsgroups.  F'up2 sci.astro set.

You are projecting.

> what does your Vulcan dictionary say what an asteroid is????

Unsurprisingly, “asteroid” is {pi'ek'tra} in (Modern) Golic Vulcan; 
literally “*small* planet”, from {pi'~} “small” + {ek'tra} “planet” ({ek'~} 
+ {tra}, literally 
“all/total/complete”-“mass/body/accumulation/assemblage”).

You would do well to recognize the difference.  EOD.
