A body of rock and metal that orbits the Sun

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to find the perfect spot for your keys in your house so that they're easy to find when you need them. This is similar to how an asteroid finds its spot in the vastness of space, orbiting the Sun just like your keys orbit the central location in your home. Just as you wouldn't leave your keys in a random place but rather in a designated spot where they can be easily accessed, an asteroid follows a defined path around the Sun, maintaining its position in the cosmic “house” of our solar system.
