Thanks! :)
Determining the exact number of minor planets, or asteroids, in our solar system is a challenging task due to the constantly evolving nature of our knowledge and the vastness of space. However, as of now, more than 1 million asteroids have been discovered and cataloged.
To get up-to-date information on the number of known asteroids, you can refer to official astronomical sources such as the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center (MPC) or NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Small-Body Database. These institutions maintain databases that track and publish information about asteroids, including their identification numbers, orbital parameters, and other relevant details.
By visiting the MPC or JPL websites, you can access their databases and find the latest statistics on the number of known minor planets. Keep in mind that new discoveries are constantly being made, so the number may change over time.
