Rock and/or metallic solids - virtually 100% for a typical asteroid, and a goodly amount (some astronomers think more than half) in a cometary nucleus. They also share in common the fact that they orbit around the sun.

How are asteriods and comets alike?
Comets are ice and rock while asteroids are rocky. They both orbit the Sun.
How are comets alike to planets?
Asteroids are the celestial bodies found in between the spaces of the planets of the solar system. But comets are mysterious bodies that go far away from the known solar system and come back once very rarely.
How are moons and asteroids alike?
They are in the inner belt
How are the dwarf planets and the inner planets alike?
they are alike in the way that they are solid not gaseous and that they are relitivly small.
How The inner planets are alike?
All the inner planets in our solar system are all terrestrial planets. They are all small rocky planets with a relatively small atmospheres when compared to the gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn or the ice giants like Neptune and Uranus. This however is not true of other stars. Many stars have large planets very small orbits.
How are the paths of asteroids and comets alike and different?
non
How are asteroiods and comets alike?
Asteroids and comets are alike in that they are both heavenly or celestial bodies. Most of them were born early in the formation of the solar system too.
How are moon and asteroids alike and different?
Both asteroids and moons can be rocky. An asteroid orbits the Sun while a moon orbits a planet. Mars has two moons (Deimos and Phobos) that are most likely former asteroids.

How are comet and asteroids alike and different?
Asteroids are rocky and have a relatively circular orbit around the Sun. Comets are icy and have a stretched oval-shaped orbit around the Sun.

How are comets and asteroids similar?
They all orbit around the sun.
How are astroids and comets alike?
yes they are.
How are moons and asteroids alike?

How are the dwarf planets and the inner planets alike?
they are alike in the way that they are solid not gaseous and that they are relitivly small.
How are moons and planets alike?
Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.
