Question

what is asteroids. what diffrent between comet and asteroids

Answer 1

The main difference between asteroids and comets is their composition, as in, what they are made of. Astroids are made up of metals and rocky material, while comets are made up of ice, dust and rocky material. Both asteroids and comets were formed early in the history of the solar system about 4.5 billion years ago. Asteroids formed much closer to the Sun, where it was too warm for ices to remain solid. Comets formed farther from the Sun where ices would not melt. Comets which approach the Sun lose material with each orbit because some of their ice melts and vaporizes to form a tail.

$\green{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Asteroid:}}}}$

The bodies that revolve around the Sun is termed as asteroid. They are very massive and have an irregular shape, but they cannot produce gravitational force as they are comparatively smaller than that of the Sun and other planets. The texture of asteroid is rocky or metallic, and they also revolve around other planets (like Jupiter). Also, they can revolve in orbit or without orbit. An example of the asteroid is a meteor.

$\green{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Comet:}}}}$

The ball that consists of dust and ice and moves in the space is termed as a comet. The nucleus of the comet made up of ice, and they have a tail of gas and dust that points away from the sun while revolving around the sun as they live in the solar system. Methane, carbon dioxide, and ammonia are also the constituent parts of the comet. Hale Bopp is the example of the comet.

$\green{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Dwarf Planet:}}}}$

The planet-like body that revolves around the sun but is not exactly the planet is known as a dwarf planet. They have their orbit for the revolution. Based on the mass of the dwarf planet, it has its gravitational force, and with the help of that, it can attract some bodies in space. Its shape is approximately spherical. The area around the dwarf planet is not clear around its orbit that makes stops it to come in the category of planets.
