Meteoroids are mostly very small items, some as small as pieces of dust. Asteroids are larger, but are the remnants of the formation of some of the planets and their moons. Comets also have a lot of dirt and dust trailing from them. So all of these things are debris of one sort or another.
What else can I help you with?
What are pieces of dust and debris from asteroids and comets called?
it is called elements i am absolutely positive. Or they may actually be calledAsteroids.See: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/asteroidwatch/asteroids-comets.cfm,accessed Tu 26 Mar 2013
What are interplanetary debris that orbit the sun between mars and Jupiter?
Type your answer here... It is left over asteroids from the big bang.
Asteroids are also known as...?
planetoids.
What revolve around the sun meteors or asteroids?
Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the sun, most of them between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Meteors are the phenomena of very small bodies burning up in the atmosphere.
When asteroids colide pieces of rock or metal fall of what are these called?
When asteroids collide, the pieces of rock or metal that break off are called "fragments" or "debris." Specifically, if these fragments are large enough to survive their journey through the atmosphere and land on Earth, they are referred to as "meteorites." Smaller pieces that burn up upon entering the atmosphere are known as "meteoroids."

Which asteroids and comets are on Mercury?
There are no known asteroids or comets that have impacted Mercury.
What are the group of asteroids that may occasionally cross earth?
Asteroids that occasionally cross the orbit of Earth are known as Near Earth Asteroids. Asteroids that both cross the orbit of the Earth and are large enough to pose a significant threat in the event of an impact are known as Potentially Hazardous Asteroids.
What is meteoried made of?
A meteorite is a piece of debris of varying sizes. It originates from asteroids or comets. When it enters the atmosphere various interactions cause it to heat up and radiate that energy which then forms a fireball. This is known as a meteor.
Debris from the solar system strikes the earth as?
meteoroids, entering the Earth's atmosphere and burning up as meteors or shooting stars. Some larger pieces that reach the Earth's surface are known as meteorites. These debris can come from asteroids, comets, or other celestial bodies in the solar system.
Asteroids are also known as...?
planetoids.
How many objects orbit the Sun?
There are eight recognized planets in our solar system that orbit the Sun, along with their moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and other space debris. Overall, there are millions of objects that are known to orbit the Sun.
Are asteroids known as minor planets?
Yes.
What is planetoid known as?
The planetoids are also known as planetesimals, as well as asteroids.
