SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Comets and asteroids have a lot in common. Both orbit the sun. Both are far smaller than the planets. Both are remnants of the solar system’s formation almost 5 billion years ago.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asteroids, meteors, and comets actually have the same basic composition. They are made of rock, dust, and sometimes ice that was leftover from the formation of the planets. Both comets and asteroids orbit the Sun. Meteors are created when comets leave behind some dust and small rocks as they complete their orbits.

Detailed explanation-3: -Comets and asteroids orbit the Sun similar to the way the Earth does. Scientists believe many of these small worlds have changed very little since they first formed. They are unlike Earth with all its weathering, volcanoes and earthquakes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asteroids are usually found in the asteroid belt, whereas comets predominantly orbit the sun in two regions: the Oort Cloud and the Kuiper Belt. Furthermore, asteroids orbit the sun in the same direction as other planets, but comets do not necessarily orbit the sun in any uniform way.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: There are several similarities between comets, asteroids, and meteors. First, they are all small objects found in our solar system. While some are several feet across and others are several miles across, they are still considered small when compared to moons and planets.

Detailed explanation-6: -Comets and asteroids are both members of our solar system. Both were born from the same great primordial cloud of dust and gas that created Earth and the other planets, 4.5 billion years ago.
