Comets are considered minor members of the solar system because they are smaller and less massive than planets and asteroids. They are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, and often have highly elliptical orbits that take them far from the Sun. Comets are less numerous and play a smaller role in the dynamics and structure of the solar system compared to planets and asteroids.
