An asteroid is a rocky body with a regular orbit around the Sun, especially those bodies in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter.
A comet is an icy body originating in the Oort Cloud with an eccentric orbit that, when approaching closer to the Sun, starts to melt and give off a tail of gas. The word "comet" means "tail" originally.
Okay I'm going to start from meteoroid and then work my way over and etc. The first one that you asked was what is a Meteoroid.A meteoroid is any of the small extraterrestrial bodies that hits the Earth's atmosphere and then comes down to planet Earth. The second question you asked is what is an asteroid. Okay, an asteroid is "any of numerous small celestial bodies composed of rock and metal that move around the sun". Then your last question is what is a comet. A comet is a relatively small extraterrestrial body consisting of a frozen mass that is made up of ice and orbits around the sun. Well their you have it. Good luck!
Asteroids, which are sometimes referred to as minor planets, are rocky, metallic bodies that revolve around the Sun, usually in a region known as the Asteroid Belt.
Comets are sometimes called "dirty snowballs" because they are mixtures of ices and dust.
Meteoroids are small chunks of stone that are capable of intersecting Earth's orbit. If a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere, it is known as a meteor or "shooting star.
Planetary moons, asteroids, and comets are not stars, but they orbit the planets. Thus, they only fall to another planetary object when gravity overpowers the celestial body. Additionally, orbits differ depending on the gravity, size, and composition of the celestial body.
The answer choices weren't provided. According to the nebular theory asteroids and comets are leftover planetesimals that never accreted into planets.
Asteroids orbit the Sun, and some of them can cross the Earth's orbit.
they are bunch of stupid rock of ice and matter thats what i know u people
from small pieces of rock and metal
Yes. A comet or asteroid can break up to form a chunk of rock called a meteoroid.
It could be an asteroid or comet.
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

Depending on the size of the rock, we might refer to it as a meteoroid, a comet, an asteroid, a moon, or a planet.
An asteroid-sized chunk of rock with a tail would be a comet.
It's in a gravitational orbit with the sun. Just like every other planet, moon, comet, asteroid, and meteoroid in the solar system.
