C-Type asteroids, or carbonaceous asteroids, are a type of celestial body found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They are rich in carbon and other organic materials, making them some of the most primitive objects in the solar system. Their dark surfaces reflect very little light, which is why they appear black or very dark in color. These asteroids are believed to contain water and other essential compounds, providing valuable insights into the early solar system's formation. Studying C-Type asteroids can help scientists understand the building blocks of planets and the origins of life on Earth.
