This image was moved to Wikimedia Commons from en.wikipedia using a bot script. All source information is still present. It requires review because CommonSense could not categorise the image during transfer. Additionally, there may be errors in any or all of the information fields; information on this image should not be considered reliable and the image should not be used until it has been reviewed and any needed corrections have been made.

Description
English: A comparison of the distribution of asteroid en:semi-major axis. Lines correspond to different absolute magnitudes H (which correlates to size).
  • Blue: H>13, roughly diameters greater than 6-15 km
  • Green:H>15, roughly diameters greater than 2.5-6 km
  • Black:H>17, almost all known asteroids, diameters greater than 1-2.5 km.

The green to black difference is clearly due to observational bias (asteroids in the inner main belt are better illuminated, closer, and have higher albedos).

Orbital elements taken from the astorb database. This data was dated 27 Dec 2005, and computed by Edward Bowell.

The "relative density" has been normalised so that the area under the line is one.
