Asteroid: elatively small, inactive body, composed of rock, carbon or metal, which is orbiting the Sun. Comet: A relatively small, sometimes active object, which is composed of dirt and ices. Comets are characterised by dust and gas tails when in proximity to the Sun. Far from the Sun it is difficult to distinguish an asteroid from a comet. Meteoroid: A small particle from an asteroid or comet orbiting he Sun. Meteor:A meteoroid that is observed as it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere - a shooting star. Meteorite: A meteoroid that survives its passage through the Earth's atmosphere and impacts the Earth's surface.A meteoroid is a meteor that hits earth and is recorded, a meteor just keeps orbiting, and orbiting the sun

A small body that orbits the sun would be either an asteroid or comet. Comets are composed of rock, minerals and ice. They sometimes have tails at the end that extend tens of millions of miles.

A small rocky object that orbits the Sun is an asteroid. The Asteroid Belt, a collection of many asteroids, is located between Mars and Jupiter.
The most common rocky objects in space are asteroids. An asteroid can range from a small rock to known sizes of hundreds of kilometers in diameter.
A small body that orbits the sun would be either an asteroid or comet. Comets are composed of rock, minerals and ice. They sometimes have tails at the end that extend tens of millions of miles.
Small fragments of matter orbiting earth are known as meteoroids. Once they enter the atmosphere of the earth, they become meteors.
It could be an asteroid or comet.
It is a natural satellite.
