Asteroids are technicaly small planets. That in they orbit the sun. An asteroid can become a moon when it is caught by the gravitational pull of a planet and goes into orbit around that planet. Mars' moons Phobos and Deimos are likely candidates for this along with the moons of gas giants Jupiter, Saturn & Uranus as they have no real matter that could have been ejected into space to create a moon like earths moon (Theorised a large mars sized object hit our planet when it was still molten ejecting a blob that became our moon).
So to re-cap asteroids orbit the sun, Moons orbit planets.
"An asteroid is a piece of moon that orbits the sun and a moon is a giant rock sphere that orbits earth."

The craters on the surface of the Earth's moon were produced by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids. These impact events occurred over billions of years as the moon lacks an atmosphere to protect it from incoming objects.
The craters on the moon were formed by the impacts of asteroids and comets.
asteroids are from space and a comment is something someone says
Both asteroids and moons can be rocky. An asteroid orbits the Sun while a moon orbits a planet. Mars has two moons (Deimos and Phobos) that are most likely former asteroids.
"An asteroid is a piece of moon that orbits the sun and a moon is a giant rock sphere that orbits earth."
Do*
The asteroids are destroyed on impact and their material becomes part of the Moon.
Asteroids can fall on any planet (or moon).
Yes, some asteroids in the Asteroid Belt have moons.

yes
They are formed by asteroids and meteorites crashing into the surface of the moon
most of them
No, the total mass of all the asteroids in the asteroid belt is estimated to be less than 4% of the mass of the Moon. Even if all the asteroids were combined, they would still be much smaller than the Moon.
the moon craters were created by asteroids and meteors. shocking!
