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.
