Depends on the asteroid and the comet. The core of a comet is typically anywhere from one mile to up to rarely 50 miles in diameter. As a comets come into the inner solar system they warm, being closer to the sun, and being mostly ice they trail a cloud of gas. On a large comet this gas tail can be vast, millions of miles long.
Asteroids come in a huge range of sizes. The largest known in the solar system is Ceres, large enough to be classified as a Dwarf Planet, and has a diameter of about 590 miles. Most are much smaller, all the way down to the size of pebbles or dust.
