There is an orbiting belt of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter. when the Solar System was forming, the rocks between these two planets couldn't make another planet - the huge gravitational force of Jupiter kept interfering. This left millions of asteroids - piles of rubble and rock.
Comets are balls of rock, dust and ice which orbit the Sun in very elongated ellipses.

How are meteorites helpful to geologist?
Meteorites are valuable to geologists because they provide insights into the early stages of the solar system and the formation of planets. They can help determine the age of the Earth and other celestial bodies, as well as provide evidence of past geological processes, such as impacts and volcanic activity. Meteorites also contain unique mineral compositions and isotopic ratios that can be studied to understand the chemical evolution of the solar system.
