Detailed explanation-1: -Comets are frozen leftovers from the formation of the solar system composed of dust, rock, and ices. They range from a few miles to tens of miles wide, but as they orbit closer to the Sun, they heat up and spew gases and dust into a glowing head that can be larger than a planet.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Short Answer: Although asteroids orbit the sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets. There are lots of asteroids in our solar system. Most of them live in the main asteroid belt-a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Detailed explanation-3: -A planet is a celestial body, or star, without its own light, which orbits around a star. Eight planets revolve around the star called the Sun.
Detailed explanation-4: -The small bodies in the solar system include comets, asteroids, the objects in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort cloud, small planetary satellites, Triton, Pluto, Charon, and interplanetary dust.
