Because they do not have volatiles in them to form a coma as to comets.
What are the 3 parts of comets?
Nucleus coma tail
When will you be able to see a comets coma?
When you hit it very hard over the head.
Why do you think the speed of comets increase as they near the sun?

comets have a halo/coma/tail surrounding and behind it caused by evaporation of ice. Metorides dont have this. Comets have high eccentrical orbits, meteroides not as much.
Why comets show a perceptible coma while asteroids do not?
Beacuse asteroids are chunks of solid rock - Comets are primarily lumps of ice - which melts as it nears the sun !
