No. If all of the space rocks in our asteroid belt were put together into one boulder, it would be 1/3 the size of(it was either the Earth or our Moon). If it was the size of a planet or bigger, then it wouldn't be called an asteroid. Asteroids are space rocks floating through space with an irregular shape and is really small compared to planets, moons, etc. They are leftovers from the formation of our early solar system.

If they are larger than about 10 meters, they are called asteroids or planetoids.Meteors. If they are larger than about 10 meters, they are called asteroids or planetoids.
Which of the following is usually the smallest A planets B comets C asteroids D moons?
its the comets are smaller than planets, moons, and asteroids. In order of size, usually comets < asteroids < moons < planets
Can an asteroid be bigger than Jupiter?
No. Asteroids are smaller than even the smallest planets. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. The only object in the solar system larger than Jupiter is the sun.
Do moons orbit anything other than planets?
A moon is an object larger than about 50 miles across, which orbits a planet. Objects which orbit stars are called either planets, of if they are small, asteroids, or comets. So a moon does not orbit anything other than a planet.
