SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Well, they’re all planetary objects orbiting the Sun. An asteroid is a small, rocky object and when seen in a telescope, it appears as a point of light. Most asteroids are found in a ring between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter called the asteroid belt.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both asteroid and meteoroid refer to bodies in our solar system that orbit the Sun but are not large enough to be deemed planets.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asteroids and comets have a few things in common. They are both celestial bodies orbiting our Sun, and they both can have unusual orbits, sometimes straying close to Earth or the other planets. They are both “leftovers”-made from materials from the formation of our Solar System 4.5 billion years ago.

Detailed explanation-4: -An asteroid is a small rocky object that orbits the Sun. A comet is a ball of ice and dust that obits the Sun. A meteoroid is a small piece of an asteroid or a comet. A meteor is a streak of light in the sky that appears when a meteoroid burns up upon entering Earth’s atmosphere.
