What is a large chunk of rock or metal much smaller than planets?
An asteroid or a meteoroid
Can a comet or asteroid break up to form a chunk of rock called a meteoroid?
Yes, comets and asteroids can break up due to various factors such as collisions or gravitational forces, leading to the formation of smaller rocks called meteoroids. These meteoroids can then enter the Earth's atmosphere and if they survive the fiery passage, they are known as meteors or shooting stars.
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.

Does a meteor give off its own energy?
No. An asteroid is just chunk of rock and metal in space. It does not release its own energy.
How is a comet different from a asteroid?
An asteroid is hunks of rock or metal a comet is ice and as it gets closer to the sun it turns to water vapor as it gets further it turns back to ice.

What is a chunk of rock or dust in space?
A chunk of rock or dust floating through space is called a meteoroid. It moves around the Solar System and becomes a meteor if it enters the Earth's atmosphere.
What is a icy rock called with a tail?
comet
What is a chunk of ice rock and dust that moves around the sun called?
A chunk of ice, rock, and dust that moves around the sun is called a comet. Comets are often characterized by their bright tails, which form when they approach the sun and the heat causes their icy components to vaporize, releasing gas and dust. They typically have elongated orbits that can take them far from the sun before returning.
