When our star Sun was young, small countless planetesimals

orbiting the Sun coalesced, conjoined and aggregated to form

bigger planetoids, larger midget planets and very large

planets..

Smaller starfish like rocky planetoids are called asteroids

Most of the known asteroids are orbiting the Sun, in-between the

orbits of Mars and Jupiter..

Sans satellites and rings of their own system, by definition,

planets had cleared such smaller orbiters, at the least, in

the space between (nearest-to-Sun) perihelion and ( farthest-from-

Sun ) aphelion.

Very large Ceres, recent discovery Vesta and very massive Apophis

are notable, among the innumerable asteroids.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
