Allison is looking through a telescope at an object in space. The object looks like a very small planet, and it does not have a tail. If the object is orbiting the Sun and not the Earth, what is Allison most likely looking at?

Answer:

Allison is probably looking at the asteroid.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Asteroids are the giant gas balls of inner solar system that are present in the space.
  • Asteroids orbits around the sun in very irregular ans strange path unlike the other planets.
  • This is also the reason why it's called as the minor planets.
  • It could have been comet but if it had been a comets he must have seen the tail but asteroids do not have any tail like structure.
