Comet- rock that passes the earth, does not come into contact via gravity.
Meteor- rock which is attracted to the earth via gravity, passes into the atmosphere and burns due to friction caused by particles
Meteorite- rock, similar to meteor, however it has survived the atmosphere and touched the earths surface.
No, comets and meteors are not considered to be small planets. Comets are simply considered to be comets, and meteors are simply considered to be meteors. (Meteors are asteroids that have entered the atmosphere.)
Comets and meteors were formed, along with the rest of the solar system, about four and a half billion years ago.
Comets contain ice.
Comets and meteors are made of rocks and boulders same as on earth. But since they are in space for a long time, they might have some differences, little differences.

Which ones? Therewere many; such as meteors really were stars that fell out of the sky, and that comets were messages from the gods (& flying heads to boot).
