It is either an asteroid (if reasonably large) or a meteoroid (if smaller). Some meteoroid swarms are the remnants of comets that lost their volatile compounds and broke up into pieces.
It is mostly rock, and rubble. ~Rainbowman
No, the moons of Saturn do not orbit on the rings of Saturn. The moons orbit around Saturn in separate paths. The rings of Saturn are made up of small particles of ice and rock that orbit around Saturn along a flat plane.
LITHOSPHERE.
Large lumps of rock that orbit the sun could refer to planets, asteroids, meteors.
No, a rock cannot speed up on its own to reach a higher orbit. A change in orbit requires an external force, such as propulsion or gravity assists.
A rock that revolves around the Sun is called an asteroid. Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They can vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers across.

Comets are small bodies of rock and ice which are in a highly eccentric orbit directly around our sun.
Those are called satellites.
The rock around the sun is called Earth.

A piece of rock embedded in igneous rock is called a xenolith. Xenoliths are typically found in volcanic rocks such as basalt or lava flows.
No. Pluto's not a planet. Its a big piece of rock that does'nt orbit like the other planets.
Rock candy typically has around 1 gram of sugar per piece. The total weight of rock candy can vary, but a single piece is usually around 10-15 grams.
The rock and ice particles that create a circle around a planet are called rings. These rings are composed of various-sized particles that orbit around the planet. Saturn is the most well-known planet with a prominent ring system.
A meteriod is a floating piece of rock in space. It becomes a meteor when it is flying through the atmosphere. The piece of rock that survives the trip through the atmosphere is called a meteorite.
