What do you call the bodies that do not gave their own heat and light but are lit by the light of the stars?
That applies to just about any other object in our Solar System - and equivalent objects in other solar systems: planets, moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, meteorites, pieces of dust, comets. I don't think there is a generic name for all of them.
HOW DO ASTEROIDS AND COMETS DIFFERS?
A comet is a large chunk of ice and rock (sometimes you can find iron there, too) with a large tail of ice. Comets are usually relatively small, and some can be formed from a collision between two asteroids. Comets, if they come in contact with Earth, usually are melted to pebbles from the atmosphere. Asteroids, on the other hand, differ greatly in size. They can be as small as a pebble or as big as a city. They are what astronomers and scientists worry about the most. After all, a large enough asteroid destroyed the dinosaurs. Asteroids have no tail of ice, and have no ice at all. They're made of solid rock and iron. Asteroids and comets have many things in common. They're considered space debris from collisions. They smash into planets and cause impacts. They both are made or rock - and sometimes iron - and dance around through deep space doing nothing at all.
What are the differences between comets asteroids and meteorites?
Meteorites are chunks of space rock that fell on earth. They are pieces of rock that can be found on the Earth surface but come from outer space. Asteroids are rocks that travel thru open space, meaning they are pieces of other planets or just boulders flying around in space. If an asteroid (small one) hits earth and is then found by someone then it is an meteorite. A comet is a boulder made of mostly ice that travels thru space at hi speeds and has a defined hyperbola around a star. So Rocks form space on earth are meteorites rocks in space flying around are asteroids and ice traveling realy fast (as a boulder) around a star is a comet.
What are meteorites asteroids and comets?
Rock debree from other galaxy's
Other members of the solar system?
asteroids comets meteoroids meteor meteorites
Why is the solar system useful?
so we know where the planets, moons, asteroids meteorites, comets, and other objects are situated. This will give a direction and information about traveling in our solar system and the time it takes to travel there.

Galaxies are groups of?
Stars, planets, moons, comets, asteroids and other phenomena.
What other bodys travel around the sun but are not considered planets?
Asteroids, and comets.
What difference do asteroids have from other space components?
Asteroids are mass of earth or rock about the size ranging from 1 km to even 500 km. Meteorites are smaller than asteroids.
What are the names of the two other large asteroids?
juno and bamberga
What other astronomical bodies exist except planets and satellites in the solar system?
Asteroids and Comets.
What other heavenly revolve around the sun?
comets meteors sattelite asteroids meteoroidsand planet
What else was formed when the earth was formed?
The other planets, stars, galaxies, meteors, comets, and asteroids.
What forms the solar system?
Asteroids, comets, planets, the Sun and other object form the solar system
