Asteroids are rocky and metallic objects that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered planets. They are known as minor planets
They have been found inside Earth's orbit to beyond Saturn's orbit. Most, however, are contained within a main belt that exists between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Some have orbits that cross Earth's path and some have even hit the Earth in times past
Asteriods are giant rocks in the solar system that are a threat if the come really close to earth.
Asteroids are practically balls of ice, iron, rock minerals, and any other space junk.
An asteroid is a small, rocky body that orbits the sun. Scientists now hypothesize that asteroids are remnants of the early solar system that came together to form a planet.
asteroids are NOT round they are bumpy and do not form a perfect sphere. One of the criterias of a planet is it has to be perfectly round
Asteroids are too small to have enough gravity to prevent any atmosphere form escaping.
Because they do not have volatiles in them to form a coma as to comets.
well meteors are usually boiling like comets, however asteroids are usually a formation of gas and ice but they all form in outer space
they are thought to not have merged to form planets due to Jupiters gravitational force preventing them from merging

Between Mars and Jupiter is an asteroid belt.

The asteroids.
The densest form of interplanetary debris are asteroids. Asteroids are basically thick rocks that come together from the interplanetary dust and debris that sometimes fall to Earth.
Because they do not have volatiles in them to form a coma as to comets.
jupeters gravity disrupted their formation
They are formed by asteroids and meteorites crashing into the surface of the moon
They are actually called craters, they were formed by asteroids colliding with the moon.

Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
