No. There are undoubtedly near misses with large asteroids, but such near-misses are much less common because there are fewer large asteroids than there are small ones.
No. Asteroids are too small to be planets.
An asteroid is a relatively small object in space composed primarily of rock and/or metal. An asteroid belt is a region in space around a star that has a higher then normal concentration of asteroids.
Small asteroids are called meteoroids.
An asteroid is a rocky object in space. It may be a broken part of a planet. The smallest observed asteroids are 10 meters in size . There may be many asteroids smaller than this but they can not be detected yet and also have not been observed yet.
An asteroid is a small rocky object that orbits the Sun, mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They can range in size from a few meters to several hundred kilometers in diameter. Some of them can come close to Earth, but the majority remain in the asteroid belt.

No. Asteroids are too small to be considered planets.
Millions, if including very small bodies.
Small asteroids are called meteoroids.
Asteroids are orbiting bodies that are made up of rocks. Asteroids can be small or very large with lengths of 600 miles.

Asteriods are chunks of rock that escaped the asteroid belts orbit.
Asteroids are small fractions of much larger stars, planets, and rocks in space.
Asteroids ... it is called the Asteroid Belt.
Asteroids are too small, and have too little gravity to have any atmosphere.
