An asteroid is basically a rock in space.
A meteor is basically a space rock falling into our atmosphere.
Therefore, meteors are asteroids that are falling into our atmosphere, there is no size comparison, only a location and action change.
They both revolve around the sun and they are both smaller than planets or moon.
The generally accepted order would be Comet, Asteroid, Moon, Planet, Sun. However, there is considerable overlap in sizes among asteroids and moons. Some of the moons of Saturn are fairly small, and the moons of Mars are both smaller than the average asteroid.
Ceres is smaller than any planet; even smaller than Pluto.
An asteroid, because the orbits of the asteroids are nearer to the earth than the comets.
Scientists usually refer to this as an asteroid, not a comet. It's the asteroid that caused the Chicxulub crater.
No. For one thing, Halley's comet is a comet, not an asteroid. The largest asteroid is Ceres, which is far larger than Halley's comet.

It IS an asteroid. (The biggest.)
asteroid
Depends on the comet. Size varies. But they are usually smaller.
An asteroid
no
No. Pluto is considered a "dwarf planet" and in terms of composition is more like a comet than an asteroid.
Asteroids are much smaller than Earth.
