What else can I help you with?
Put the following in size order smallest first. Comet. Sun. Asteroid. Planet and 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.
What is a similarity between comet and asteroid?
They both revolve around the sun and they are both smaller than planets or moon.
What is the difference between a meteor meteorite and asteroid?
Asteroid: A relatively small, inactive body, composed of rock, carbon or metal, which is orbiting the Sun. Comet: A relatively small, sometimes active object, which is composed of dirt and ices. Comets are characterized by dust and gas tails when in proximity to the Sun. Far from the Sun it is difficult to distinguish an asteroid from a comet. Meteoroid: A small particle from an asteroid or comet orbiting the Sun. Meteor: A meteoroid that is observed as it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere - a shooting star. Meteorite: A meteoroid that survives its passage through the Earth's atmosphere and impacts the Earth's surface.
How can you tell an asteroid from a comet?
An asteroid has a inactive body, composed of rock, carbon or metal, which is orbiting the sun. Comets are sometimes an active object, which is composed of dirt and ice.
Spherical body that orbits the sun but shares its orbits with other bodies?
A small body that orbits the sun would be either an asteroid or comet. Comets are composed of rock, minerals and ice. They sometimes have tails at the end that extend tens of millions of miles.
What is the name of the path of a comet around the sun?
asteroid belt
Rock liquid or gas that orbits the sun?
Rock: asteroid. Liquid: none. Gas: comet.

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 do you call to the point where the earth is fastest from the sun?
Aphelion is the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is furthest from the sun.
What is the name for body of orbit around the sun?
Planet, planetoid, moon, asteroid, meteor, comet
What does orbit around the sun mean?
It means a path travelled by a planet, asteroid, meteor or a comet which goes around the sun once.
What is a chunk of rock that orbits around the Sun?
An asteroid or perhaps a comet depending on the orbit the object takes.
Why can asteroid or comet cause a very long winter?
After an impact with an asteroid or comet, a lot of dust is flung into the atmosphere. All this dust blocks the Sun's light, causing global temperatures to drop, and consequently - longer winters.
What is a similarity between comet and asteroid?
They both revolve around the sun and they are both smaller than planets or moon.
