Are comets heavier or lighter than the moon?
I am pretty sure that comets are lighter than moons but it depends on the comet
How are asteriods and comets alike?
Asteroids and comets are both celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. They are remnants from the formation of the solar system and are composed of rock, metals, and other materials. However, comets are distinguished by their icy composition and tail of gas and dust when they approach the Sun.
What is the composition of a meteoroid?
Its composition is usually rocky or metallic.
What is the surface composition?

What is different between astroids and comets?
Asteroids are rocky, airless remnants from the early formation of the solar system, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets, on the other hand, are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material and originate from the outer regions of the solar system, such as the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. When comets approach the Sun, they develop a glowing coma and tail due to the sublimation of their icy components. Thus, the main differences lie in their composition and behavior when near the Sun.
Can an asteroid turn into a comet?
No, asteroids and comets are classified based on their characteristics and composition. Asteroids are rocky and metallic bodies that orbit the Sun, while comets are icy bodies that develop a fuzzy atmosphere and tail when they get close to the Sun. While some objects can exhibit characteristics of both, they are still considered either an asteroid or a comet based on their main features.

How are composition the same between comets and asteroids?
The rocky, gritty material in a cometary nucleus is probably much like a solid asteroid in chemical profile. But most asteroids are solid, barren rock - the comet has a large percentage of ices in it.
What is a rocky object that orbits the sun between the planets?
Asteroid Comets are icy conglomerations of material, so cannot be called a "rocky object".
