Compare and contrast asteroids and comets?
Both asteroids and comets are celestial bodies in space, but they differ in composition and appearance. Asteroids are mainly made of metal and rock, and are found mostly in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets, on the other hand, are made of ice, dust, and rock, and come from the outer regions of the solar system. Comets also have a tail that forms when they get close to the Sun, while asteroids do not.
