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.
Asteroids move anywhere. Planets move in a pattern/orbit.
Alike: Have rocky surfaces, are in space <-not really recommended
Different: The shapes are different, on some planets theres life. :3
idiot i dont knoe this answer
== == An ellipse. Like planets.
Well, they look like a big belt of asteroids circling around planets or galaxy.
well they do land in the planets but they dont HIT like PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH THERE NO they LAND ON THE PLANETS:)
are asteroids smaller or larger than planets
Some may but they will be very weak as the asteroids are solid. Even planets like Mars and Mercury have only very weak magnetic fields because they are solid. The Earth has the strong magnetic field that it does only because it is large enough to be able to retain enough heat to keep part of its core molten.
Asteroids are all different shapes and sizes.
planets are apart and help are solar system and asteroids hit are planets
Pluto is different from the inner planets in that it has not cleared it's orbit from asteroids.
ordinary planets are a big part of the solar system dwarf planets aren't that important they are considered like stars or asteroids but mainly dwarf planets
Asteroids, Comets
== == An ellipse. Like planets.
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
No Asteroids are too small to be considered planets.
Well, they look like a big belt of asteroids circling around planets or galaxy.
Because its simple all the planets moons are asteroids except for Earths it was part of Earth at one time and ours is different because we rock.
They are sometimes called "major planets" to distinguish them from the "minor planets" (the asteroids) and "dwarf planets" like Pluto.
yes it almost looks like Pluto
