okay i think that they are the same because arnt comets the same as shoting stars and shoting stars are just asterids that came to close to the earth so i think that they are the same. but you might want to ask someone before using this information im only 13.

ok no! your way wrong soory bro.. comets have a tail... asteroids don't

comets are made up of mostly rock and ice...and asteroids of rock and metals.

and by the way, a shooting star is an meteor not and asteroid
