No. If all of the space rocks in our asteroid belt were put together into one boulder, it would be 1/3 the size of(it was either the Earth or our Moon). If it was the size of a planet or bigger, then it wouldn't be called an asteroid. Asteroids are space rocks floating through space with an irregular shape and is really small compared to planets, moons, etc. They are leftovers from the formation of our early solar system.
What else can I help you with?
Which of these refers to a small celestial object orbiting the Sun and ranging in size from a grain of sand to a boulder?
Meteors. If they are larger than about 10 meters, they are called asteroids or planetoids.Meteors. If they are larger than about 10 meters, they are called asteroids or planetoids.Meteors. If they are larger than about 10 meters, they are called asteroids or planetoids.Meteors. If they are larger than about 10 meters, they are called asteroids or planetoids.
A large celestial body that revolves around a star and is larger than an asteroid?
This description fits the definition of a planet. Planets orbit around stars and are larger than asteroids.
Which of the following is usually the smallest A planets B comets C asteroids D moons?
its the comets are smaller than planets, moons, and asteroids. In order of size, usually comets < asteroids < moons < planets
What is smaller moons comets asteroids or planets?
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.
What is the difference between dwarf planets and asteroids?
For an object to be a planet it has to : orbit the sun, has enough mass to assume a rounded shape, and clear any objects in its path. Some planets (such as Pluto) are no longer planets because they do not fit the criteria above. They are then usually classed as dwarf planets. Asteroids are small pieces of rock which orbit the sun. These are much too small to become planets/dwarf planets and also don't fit the criteria above. Hope this helps :)
What the asteroids are larger or smaller than planets?
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.
Is 250 planets larger than 100 stars and 100 asteroids?
YES, 100 stars and 100 asteroids are larger than 250 planets
How are planets compared to asteroids and planets?
Planets are larger and more massive than asteroids, but very nearly the same size and mass as planets.
What are asteroids larger than?
Asteroids larger than 1 km in diameter are known as planetesimals, while those over 100 km are considered minor planets. Asteroids larger than 1,000 km are usually classified as dwarf planets if they have enough mass for gravity to shape them into a round shape.
Are comets asteroids stars or galaxies sometimes called minor planets?
Asteroids, some comets, and dwarf planets are classified as minor planets. Stars and galaxies are much larger than planets There are dwarf planets and these are Ceres Pluto and Eris.
What planet is big as an asteroid?
None. Even the smallest planets are larger than the largest asteroids.

How are asteroids different than planets?
planets are apart and help are solar system and asteroids hit are planets

Are meteoroids larger than comets but larger than asteroids?
no

Do stars become asteroids in space?
Stars are tremendously larger than asteroids and do not become asteroids.
