A meteorite is a meteor that lands on the earth.
An asteroid is a natural object that is still in space (not including larger objects such as moons, planets and stars, of course).

Between Mars and Jupiter is an asteroid belt.
Objects that move between Mars and Jupiter are asteroids. These asteroids mainly exist in the asteroid belt located between the two planets. They vary in size and shape, ranging from small rocky fragments to large irregularly shaped bodies.
Asteroids attract each other through gravitational force, similar to how Earth attracts the Moon. Gravity is a universal force that acts between all objects with mass, including asteroids. The strength of the gravitational force between objects depends on their masses and the distance between them.
Small planets with orbits between Mars and Jupiter are known as asteroids. These rocky and metallic objects are remnants from the early formation of the solar system and can vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest asteroid in this region is Ceres, which is also classified as a dwarf planet.
Asteroids are "large" lumps of rock whereas meteoroids are small particles, either grains of dust or boulder sized lumps of material.
An asteroid is a piece of moon that orbits the sun and a moon is a giant rock sphere that orbits earth
Not exactly. Asteroids and meteoroids fall into the same category of object, the only difference being that asteroids are larger.
Differentiated asteroids have undergone processes like heating and melting, leading to the separation of heavy and light elements. This results in distinct layers within the asteroid. Undifferentiated asteroids have not experienced these processes and are more homogeneous in composition throughout.
asteroids are small chunks of rock which move in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter while dwarf planets like Pluto have a centrifugal force and orbit the sun.

The vast majority of asteroids is in the the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. However, there are asteroids all around the solar system.
Between Mars and Jupiter is an asteroid belt.
The main difference between asteroids and ophiuroids is the way that the rays, or arms, attach to the body. In ophiuroids, the arms are not joined to each other and the body and arms are clearly separated, but in the asteroids the arms are joined to each other and the boundary between arms and the central disc is blurred. #CaseyS
No. Most asteroids are in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Asteroids are mass of earth or rock about the size ranging from 1 km to even 500 km. Meteorites are smaller than asteroids.
