It all depends on time in reality, or a given period of time comets can follow a path that comes very close to the sun, although this may occur once over a cycle of hundreds of years. Jovian planets are all located past the frost ring where the asteroid belt can be found. (asteroid belt is in between Mars and Jupiter) Depending on time and what you are looking for asteroids hold the most consistency on average of being closer to the sun.
What else can I help you with?
Where do comets and asteroids go?
Most "asteroids" are in orbit around the Sun, unless disturbed by gravity or collisions. Comets may orbit the Sun regularly, or be drawn in from the outer solar system and pass by the Sun on their way back out (hyperbolic comets).
What do comets and asteroids not have in common?
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
What do comets and asteroids have in common?
Comets and asteroids are both celestial bodies orbiting the Sun. Comets are icy bodies that develop a tail when passing close to the Sun, while asteroids are rocky or metallic objects that typically orbit in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Both comets and asteroids can occasionally enter Earth's vicinity.
Do comets orbit mars and Jupiter?
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Are asteroids faster when closer to the Sun?
if the asteroid is closer to the sun does it go faster or slower
Do comets orbit asteroids?
No. Comets orbit the sun.

What do comets and asteroids not have in common?
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
What orbit the Sun like planets do?
Asteroids, Comets
How are asteroids and comets the same?
They both orbit the sun.
Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?
the asteroid belt, the kuiper belt, and the oort cloud.
What are the things that moves around the sun?
planets and comets and asteroids

No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Can the sun burn asteroids and comets?
The Sun is hot enough to vaporize most anything.
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 !
In what ways are comets and asteroids similar?
Asteroids and comets have a few things in common. They are both celestial bodies orbiting our Sun, and they both can have unusual orbits, sometimes straying close to Earth or the other planets. They are both "leftovers" - made from materials from the formation of our Solar System 4.5 billion years ago. While asteroids consist of metals and rocky material, comets are made up of ice, dust, rocky materials and organic compounds. When comets get closer to the Sun, they lose material with each orbit because some of their ice melts and vaporizes. Asteroids typically remain solid, even when near the Sun. When comets approach the Sun, some of their ices melt. This causes another notable difference between asteroids and comets: comets have "tails" while asteroids generally don't. When the ices in comets begin to melt and other materials vaporize from the heat from the Sun, this forms a glowing halo that extends outward from the comet as it sails through space. There is a big difference when it comes to numbers… although there is a caveat in that we don't know precisely how many asteroids OR comets there are in our Solar System, since lots have never been seen. Astronomers have discovered millions of asteroids - some as small as dust particles and others measuring hundreds of kilometers across (width). But as of this writing, astronomers have found only about 4,000 comets. [However, some estimates say there could be one hundred billion comets in the Oort cloud.]
