Could there be objects between Mercury and the Sun? Like, say, asteroids?
The average distance between Mercury and the Sun is about 36 million miles.
Yes, there are several known objects between Mercury and the Sun, including Vulcanoids, asteroids, and comets.
These objects are difficult to detect because they are very close to the Sun, making them hard to observe due to the Sun's brightness.
It is possible that there are undiscovered objects between Mercury and the Sun, as there is still much to be explored in this region of our solar system.
Studying objects between Mercury and the Sun can give us a better understanding of the formation and evolution of our solar system, as well as provide insights into the dynamics of these objects and their potential impact on Earth.
