An asteroid is a small, rocky body that orbits the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planet. The key difference lies in their orbits: asteroids do not orbit planets, whereas moons are bound to the gravitational pull of their respective planets. Additionally, moons can vary in size and composition, but they are typically formed from the debris of larger bodies or through capture, whereas asteroids are remnants from the early solar system.
