How are inner planets characterized?
Inner planets are characterized by their proximity to the sun and their rocky composition. They are also known as terrestrial planets as they have solid surfaces and are made up of mostly rock and metal. Inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are generally smaller and have shorter orbital periods compared to outer planets.
Is an asteroid the same thing as an asteroid belt?
No. An asteroid is a relatively large chunk of rock and/or metal in orbit around the sun. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where the majority of the asteroids orbit.
Is a comet smaller than asteroid?
An asteroid is basically a rock in space. A meteor is basically a space rock falling into our atmosphere. Therefore, meteors are asteroids that are falling into our atmosphere, there is no size comparison, only a location and action change.

Does a meteor give off its own energy?
No. An asteroid is just chunk of rock and metal in space. It does not release its own energy.
