What is true about planets and asteroids?

Planets are large celestial bodies that orbit a star and have cleared their orbit of other objects, while asteroids are smaller rocky or metallic bodies that also orbit a star but have not cleared their orbit. Planets are typically round due to their gravitational pull, while asteroids can have irregular shapes.

No, they are the size of uranus ;)


How are asteroids like planets how are they different?

Dwarf Planets actually orbit the Sun on an orbital path. Unlike Asteroids they have a moon as well. Asteroids usually stay in a belt like the one between Mars and Jupiter. Yet not all Asteroids are in the belt some of them are close to Earth. This type of Asteroid is called a NEO. (Near Earth Object). Asteroids don't orbit the Sun like planets do in their orbital paths. Asteroids tend to go in anyway they want. Just a simple push from another object if not already heading for Earth can push an Asteroid on a different course which could also be a danger to Earth itself. Asteroids also contain life supporting elements and materials that we could mine out of them which NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), other government's, and even privet company's are trying to find a way to do so. If we can mine Asteroids we could just be able to get to Mars very soon.


What are asteroids shaped like?

Asteroids have many shapes, depending on their mass or composition. The largest are spherical, but others and elongated spheres, potato shaped and even resemble peanuts. Mostly, they are irregular shaped rocks.


Why aren't the planets in different shapes?

The planets mass creates gravity which pulls it into a spherical shape. This is the difference between planets and other heavenly bodies such as moons and asteroids. To be defined as a planet, a body must have enough gravity to pull itself into a spherical shape and it's gravity must be sufficient to clear its area of other debris.
