Use Python to analyse the asteroid belt

One thing that we all learn as children is about the objects in our solar system. In addition to the planets, which we all learn about, we also learn about asteroids, which primarily orbit around the space between Mars and Jupiter. It is believed by many that the asteroids that are comprised of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter were in fact once a planet that disintegrated at some point in our solar system’s past.

In addition to the asteroids that orbit between the planets Mars and Jupiter, there are also objects that are co-orbital with Jupiter, called Jupiter trojans. Also, there are co-orbital families that exist close to Earth.

The discovery of the asteroids in our solar system is cited as follows:-
