Best Answer

Cosmic dust is made of dust grains and aggregates into dust particles. These particles are irregularly shaped, with porosity ranging from fluffy to compact. The composition, size, and other properties depend on where the dust is found, and conversely, a compositional analysis of a dust particle can reveal much about the dust particle's origin.

Ever broken a glass bottle? Cosmic debris is the same except it's generally rock and dust and gets broken when celestial bodies impact each other. Debris is generally the mess left from an impact of some sort. A car wreck generally leaves loads of debris on the road, a good portion of it being safety glass.
