Question

James observes an orbiting body that is approximately 5.2 AU away from the Sun. He knows that it is primarily composed of helium and hydrogen. In which region of the solar system is the orbiting body located?

Answer 1

Asteroid Belt

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the body contains rock and metal, it could be a terrestrial planet or an asteroid. However, terrestrial planets do not exist beyond 1.7 AU. Asteroids orbit close to Jupiter and exist between a distance of 2.2 and 3.5 AU from the Sun. These asteroids reside in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Answer 2

˚₊ (Answer:)

Outer Planets might be the correct response.

⇢ ˗ˏˋ ˎˊ(Explanation:)

Jupiter is 5.2 A.U (astronomical units) away from the sun. That includes the asteroid belt which is 3.2 A.U. Checking out other planets, they are mostly less/more then what we have. So, yea.
