An asteroid is a small rocky body that orbits the sun, while an asteroid belt is a region in our solar system located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where many asteroids are found. The asteroid belt is like a "belt" of smaller objects orbiting the sun, with the largest asteroid being Ceres.

What is the main difference between an asteroid an a meteoriod?

The main difference between an asteroid and a meteoroid is size. Asteroids are larger objects, typically measuring more than 10 meters in diameter, while meteoroids are smaller, ranging from a few meters down to dust-sized particles. Additionally, asteroids are usually found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while meteoroids can be found in various places, including the asteroid belt, as well as comets or other sources.

What effects do meteors have in space?

A meteor is the streak of light you see in the night sky from a asteroid or meteroid hitting the atmosphere. It is not considered a "meteor" until it enters the earth's atmosphere - therefore you can't really have a meteor in space. However, if you are talking an asteroid or meteroid then they are just rocks floating in space - not really a big deal unless one hits us or hits one of our satellites or spacecraft.

Does a meteroid have an atmosphere?

No, a meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space that does not have an atmosphere. It is typically smaller than an asteroid and can range in size from a grain of sand to a small rock.
