What else can I help you with?
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 everything that travels around the sun?
Many objects travel around the sun, including planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and artificial satellites. The sun's gravitational pull keeps these objects in orbit around it, following predictable paths.
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 similarity between an asteroid and a planet?
Both asteroids and planets are objects that orbit the sun.
How many objects orbit the Sun?
There are eight recognized planets in our solar system that orbit the Sun, along with their moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and other space debris. Overall, there are millions of objects that are known to orbit the Sun.

What is the smallest asteroids moons comets planets?
Asteroids and Comets
What are the tiny planets?
Objects that are smaller than planets are called "dwarf planets"; even smaller objects are called "asteroids".
What objects in space are known as the minor planets orbiting the Sun?
Minor planets, also known as asteroids, are rocky objects that orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Some other minor planets include the Trojan asteroids, which share an orbit with larger planets, and the Centaurs, which have unstable orbits that cross those of the giant planets.
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.
Which of the following do all of the small objects in the four categories dwarf planets comets asteroids and meteoroids have in common?
They are all less than a kilometer in diameter.
How do meteorites differ from asteroids?
Asteroids are objects smaller then planets that orbit the Sun. Meteorites are (usually) smaller objects that enter the atmosphere and reach the ground.
What are the rock objects called that crisscross the orbits of the planets?
They are still called asteroids. But some refer to them as "rogue" asteroids, or "asteroids in irregular orbits".
What are the objects in the solar system?
Planets, Dwarf Planets, moons and ring systems of these planets, Comets, Meteors, Asteroids, The Sun, Kuiper belt objects and the Oort cloud.
What objects orbit the sun between the inner and outer planets?
The objects that orbit the Sun between the inner and outer planets are collectively known as asteroids. They are rocky remnants left over from the early formation of the solar system. Some asteroids are quite large and have even been classified as dwarf planets, such as Ceres.
Objects that orbit the sun?
Planets, exoplanets, asteroids. They're all sattelites of the sun.
Is mars the second smallest planet in the solar system?
Of the 8 major planets, Mars is the second smallest, after Mercury. Mercury is only about 38% as large as Earth, while Mars is about 53% as large. There are, of course, many smaller bodies that are dwarf planets, Kuiper Belt objects, asteroids, and moons.
