Asteroids, by definition, are much smaller than planets. That's one reason why they are mostly shaped irregular, unlike planets which are close to being round. The round shape is due to the increased mass (or weight) and only large masses tend to be round due to gravity.
Asteroids are smaller than planets. A few of the asteroids are fairly large; Ceres, for example, is a "dwarf planet" that's bigger than Pluto. But many of the asteroids are a few miles, or a few dozen miles, across. That isn't very big, compared to Mars or Earth.
its the comets are smaller than planets, moons, and asteroids. In order of size, usually comets < asteroids < moons < planets
There are 8 planets Mercury (smaller than Earth) Venus (smaller than Earth) Earth Mars (smaller than Earth) Jupiter (bigger than Earth) Saturn (bigger than Earth) Uranus (bigger than Earth) Neptune (bigger than Earth) so 3 smaller & 4 bigger than Earth 37.5% smaller than Earth 50% bigger than Earth
Although comets appear very large when they are near the Sun because of the large dust cloud that follows behind them, they are actually the smallest of the objects listed. Comets typically have a diameter of less than 6 miles, which is much smaller than the typical diameter of the other objects listed above.
No, an asteroid cannot be bigger than Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, while asteroids are much smaller rocky bodies that vary in size from a few meters to several hundred kilometers in diameter.
Planets are generally larger than asteroids. Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, while planets are larger celestial objects that have cleared their orbit of other debris. Some asteroids can be quite large, but they are still dwarfed by the size of planets.
No. Asteroids are smaller than even the smallest planets. Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system.
Objects that are smaller than planets are called "dwarf planets"; even smaller objects are called "asteroids".
the gas planets are bigger than the rocky planets
Asteroids are much smaller than Earth.
lots of things are bigger than a astriod ,planets, somtimes a moon, and the biggest star in are solar system.

Meteoroids are smaller than asteroids; most are smaller than the size of a pebble.
