Well, darling, meteors are just asteroids that decided to light up and show off as they barrel through Earth's atmosphere. Meteors are basically bits and pieces of asteroids that break off and become shooting stars, while asteroids are the lazy cousins that just hang out in space not doing much except spinning around. So to sum it up for you: meteors are just the flashy, outgoing members of the asteroid family.

How are meteors asteroids and comets the same and different?

Meteors, asteroids, and comets are all objects in space. Meteors are shooting stars that enter Earth's atmosphere, asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun mostly in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and comets are icy objects that orbit the Sun in more elongated paths. While they all originate from space, their composition and behavior can vary significantly.


Would you use a classification paragraph or a division paragraph to let your friend know how to differentiate meteors, meteorites, and asteroids?

I would use a division paragraph to explain the differences between meteors, meteorites, and asteroids. This type of paragraph would allow me to clearly outline how these terms differ in terms of their characteristics, composition, and behavior without going into excessive detail.
