Asteroid dynamics is the study of the motion and behavior of asteroids in the solar system. This research area focuses on understanding how asteroids move, interact with each other and with gravitational forces, and how they change their orbits over time. Scientists study asteroid dynamics to predict their future paths, assess potential collision risks with Earth, and study the formation and evolution of the solar system. This field combines observations, mathematical modeling, and computer simulations to better understand the complex dynamics of asteroids.
