What is a chunk of an asteroid that has broken off in outer space?
A small piece of an asteroid that has broken off in outer space is called a meteoroid. When this meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to friction with air particles, it creates a streak of light called a meteor or shooting star.
What is a large chunk of rock or metal much smaller than planets?
An asteroid or a meteoroid
What is a chunk of rock that is found between Mars and Jupiter called?
A chunk of rock found between Mars and Jupiter is called an asteroid. These rocky objects are leftovers from the early formation of the solar system and are primarily located in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What is the name of a chunk of rock ice or metal?
IcebergI believe they are called icebergs... The process is called calving though
Is an asteroid the same thing as an asteroid belt?
No. An asteroid is a relatively large chunk of rock and/or metal in orbit around the sun. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where the majority of the asteroids orbit.
Can a comet or asteroid can break up to form a chunk of rock called a meteoroids?
Yes. A comet or asteroid can break up to form a chunk of rock called a meteoroid.

A chunk of an asteroid that has broken off in outer space is called?
A piece of an asteroid is still an asteroid, until you get down to pretty small pieces. At some point, when it's too small to see from far away, they are called "meteoroids" or just "space rocks". There isn't any formal hierarchy of sizes.
What is a chunk of asteroid that has broken off in outer space?
A Meteoroid if the chunk is boulder sized or smaller, or just another Asteroid if it is house-sized or bigger.

Is the sun the only meteoroid?
Absolutely not. The Sun is not a meteoroid, it is a star. A meteoroid is a chunk of rock and debris travelling through space.

What is a Small chunk of rock moving through space?
A meteoroid.
What is a chunk of rock that is found between Mars and Jupiter called what?
The Asteroid Belt is found between Mars and Jupiter, so the answer would be an asteroid.
What is the difference between an asteroid and a meteor?
The word "meteor" refers to the streak of light in the sky caused when something falls into the Earth's atmosphere at very high speed, and is heated to incandescence by friction and compressive heating. The "something" can be a rock the size of a grain of rice, or anything larger. Before it hits the atmosphere, it is referred to as a "meteoroid"; if it survives to strike the Earth, the fragments if found are called "meteorites". An asteroid is a chunk of rock floating in space, orbiting the Sun. The term can be applied to anything large enough to be visible, but is typically applied to rocks at least a few meters in diameter. There's a lot of gray area between "meteoroid" and "asteroid".
