Because many valuable metals like platinum are dense so most of them have sunk into the molten center of the earth at some point during history leaving relatively small amounts in the crust. This cannot happen in an asteroid as there is nowhere for valuable metals to sink so they remain easily retrievable. That's why so many metals that are rare on earth are plentiful in asteroids, thus making them valuable.
Asteroids should be watched carefully because they have the potential to collide with Earth, causing significant damage and loss of life. By monitoring asteroids, scientists can track their movements and potentially take action to mitigate the threat of a collision. Additionally, studying asteroids can provide valuable insights into the history and composition of our solar system.
Typically, asteroids are silicates (rocks) and water (in the form of ice), which is pretty much the same stuff that comets are made of, except that the big, beautiful comets are mostly water, and the asteroids are mostly rock. Asteroids may also have some metals and someday these may be commercially valuable.
Asteroids have very little gravity, no atmosphere, and no protection from solar radiation. So they cannot support life.
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
Some people refer to asteroids as "space trash" because they are often seen as leftover debris from the formation of the solar system, primarily composed of rock and metal. Unlike planets, which have cleared their orbits, asteroids share space with other objects and can be perceived as clutter. Additionally, the term "trash" conveys a sense of potential danger, as some asteroids can pose threats to Earth due to their orbits. However, it's worth noting that asteroids also hold valuable resources and scientific insights.
Asteroids contain valuable heavy metals such as palladium, gold, rhodium, platinum, iridium etc. Surveys have deduced that the asteroid 241 Germania could yield profits of up to $95 trillion, that's just one of 600,000 asteroids surveyed for composition.

Asteroids Minerals Asteroids are made of Rocks,Craters and other Asteroids So .... most sciientist bielieve they are remanings of planets not formed

Presently we do not have the technology to do so.
Meteors are pieces of asteroids or whole asteroids in the earths atmosphere only. Written By, Brainiocity
it's because that they were asteroids that was bigger then Pluto so it was hard to find out which is Pluto and which are the asteroids

I think so.
thay are part of our earth dumbo
i dont think so
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
