    Ceres is more than a third of the mass of the asteroid belt. It’s at least an order of magnitude bigger than anything else in its orbit. It’s hardly a hunk of rock

      There’s also not that much rock, only 73% of the mass. The rest is ice and mud, with half it’s volume being water in some form.
