It all depends on time in reality, or a given period of time comets can follow a path that comes very close to the sun, although this may occur once over a cycle of hundreds of years. Jovian planets are all located past the frost ring where the asteroid belt can be found. (asteroid belt is in between Mars and Jupiter) Depending on time and what you are looking for asteroids hold the most consistency on average of being closer to the sun.
asteriods are closer, one of the asteriods in our solar system was actually considered a planet for around a century, then it was demoted(kinda like pluto). Comets are masses of ice, if they were near the sun often, they would melt and therefore no longer exist.
Comets orbit the Sun from different distances. Some orbits are within the orbits of the outer planets, others come from beyond the orbits of the outer planets.
However, when you see a comet with its tail from Earth, it will be on a part of its orbit that brings it closer to Earth than the orbits of the outer planets.
Yes the Earth is closer to the sun, but Jupiter is still hotter because it's covered with gas.
Some do, some do not. Both have in the past hit the Earth.
Generally speaking yes they do. Though their orbits may be perturbed (changed) on very rare occasions so that they may escape from the suns gravitational field
Yes.
well, asteroids are closer to the sun then comets

Yes.
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
Reflectors: Comets, asteroids, planets Emitters: The sun, meteors, stars The sun is a star.
Most "asteroids" are in orbit around the Sun, unless disturbed by gravity or collisions. Comets may orbit the Sun regularly, or be drawn in from the outer solar system and pass by the Sun on their way back out (hyperbolic comets).

No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

They both orbit the sun.

The Sun is hot enough to vaporize most anything.
Beacuse asteroids are chunks of solid rock - Comets are primarily lumps of ice - which melts as it nears the sun !
Yes.
