Asteroids: Asteroids are minor planets, rocky or metallic bodies orbiting the Sun, mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, varying greatly in size.

Comets vs. Meteoroids: Comets are icy, dusty objects with elliptical orbits, developing tails when near the Sun. Meteoroids are smaller space debris resulting from collisions, ranging from tiny to meter-sized, orbiting the Sun. • Meteors and Meteorites: A meteor is a meteoroid burning up in Earth's atmosphere. A meteorite is a meteoroid that survives atmospheric entry and impacts Earth's surface.
