'''Asteroids''', also known as ''minor planets'' or ''planetoids'', are significantly-sized debris that orbit the [[Sun]]. The ''Asteroid Belt'' can be found between the orbits of [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]], making up the majority of the population of asteroids in the inner Solar System. Groups of asteroids also swarm around the fourth and fifth [[Lagrangian point]]s (<math>L_4</math> and <math>L_5</math>) of Jupiter and are known as the ''Greeks'' and the ''Trojans'' respectively. Jupiter's [[Lagrangian point]] asteriods are generally known as ''Trojan asteroids'', and this term is often used to describe Mars' Lagrangian objects. The ''Hildas'' are another swarm of asteroids on the far-side of the Sun (opposing Jupiter). The ''Hildas'' are in orbital resonance with the large gas giant and can be found near Jupiter's <math>L_3</math> point.
