Question

Why are there no asteroids with orbital periods of about 6 years?

what happens to them ?

Answer 1

Jupiter, the most massive planet, has a period of about 12 years. Any orbit that has a simple relationship to Jupiter's, such as 2:1 for a 6 year period, will get "pumped " by repeated gravitational interactions with the big planet and either captured or thrown into a radiacally different orbit.

Answer 2

There are a very few, in high-inclination orbits. But the 6-year orbital period is close to the 2:1 resonance with Jupiter. Anything with this sort of orbit gets tugged at by Jupiter at the same points in its orbit each time, causing the orbit to change to something else. There are several gaps in the asteroid belt due to this sort of orbital resonance with Jupiter; they're called Kirkwood Gaps.

Answer 3

They would enter in resonance with Jupiter (with its 12 year orbital period) and would get yanked out of there.

Answer 4

That would put them in a resonance with Jupiter, which would eat them. Yum!

Answer 5

this is because the humungus fluxuations in the Earthes temperatures and the thining o-zone layers and the vacumes of space are becoming disruptid by gasses,radiation,and polution on Earth. hope that anserd ur question. :)
