Explanation:
Asteroids are different from comets where Comets show a coma ("tail") while asteroids do not. This term has historically been aimed at all astronomical objects that surround the sun and after being observed have no active comet characteristics.
Comet is a celestial body consisting of gas and water that has hardened into ice. The size of the comet is not too large with the largest core diameter (comet core) only 10 kilometers. The path used by comets to circle the Sun is oval shaped. Sometimes the comet's path is very close to the Sun, this makes some of the ice in the comet evaporate due to heat. Steam forms the tail of a comet whose length reaches hundreds of kilometers. Light comets look like strands of long hair, therefore comets are often called tailed stars, but to see them, we need the help of certain telescopes. Asteroids are small celestial bodies that surround the sun. Asteroids contain small metals such as nickel and iron that are formed from space rocks. These heavenly bodies gather in a path called the asteroid belt (Main Asteroid Belt). The path is the path traversed by Mars and Jupiter.
