Composition

Rock & Ice

The image shows a cutaway model of Ceres, a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt. The exterior is represented by a light grey, textured surface resembling a rocky terrain. A section of the sphere is cut away, revealing the interior layers. The innermost section is a brown, smooth surface, possibly indicating a core. Surrounding this core is a thicker layer depicted in blue shades with a granular texture, suggesting a layer of ice or rock. The layers together form concentric shapes leading to the outer crust.
