Comets!
Comets and asteroids are the same, but differ in the fact that comets have surface activity with their characteristic tail.
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
It's assumed those asteroids that once were comets have had the ice and dust burned off and now have nothing coming off to make a tail.
Asteroids and comets are both celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. They are remnants from the formation of the solar system and are composed of rock, metals, and other materials. However, comets are distinguished by their icy composition and tail of gas and dust when they approach the Sun.
Comets and asteroids are both celestial bodies orbiting the Sun. Comets are icy bodies that develop a tail when passing close to the Sun, while asteroids are rocky or metallic objects that typically orbit in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Both comets and asteroids can occasionally enter Earth's vicinity.

Asteroids and Comets
Asteroids orbit the Sun between the orbits of the planet Mars and the planet Jupiter. Comets orbit the Sun on very elliptical orbits, originating from the Kuiper belt beyond the orbit of Neptune or the Oort cloud at the edges of the solar system. Comets are also usually (but not always) icy bodies that give of gas and dust (a tail) as they approach and get heated by the Sun. Meteorites are bodies that were Asteroids or Comets that have hit the planet Earth and landed on the surface.
There are no known asteroids or comets that have impacted Mercury.

Not really, you're thinking of comets, asteroids are composed of rock, metal, or a combination of both.
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.
