Asteroids are rocky, airless remnants from the early formation of the solar system, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets, on the other hand, are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material and originate from the outer regions of the solar system, such as the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. When comets approach the Sun, they develop a glowing coma and tail due to the sublimation of their icy components. Thus, the main differences lie in their composition and behavior when near the Sun.
